Conducting Astronomical Research at a Distance

Conducting Astronomical research at a distance is a significant hurdle, at the moment all we can do is review the current literature

Life of an Astronomy Student

Hello to all of you astrogeeks, Well, this is me (above), despite not being a pretty sight it’s still me and I’d not change me for anyone. Why? Because I so happen to study and love a subject close to my heart, of course it’s Astronomy, not only the observing side but the physics too, […]

Petition to the Open University for a Masters in Astrophysics/Astronomy

Hello fellow Astrogeeks and enthusiasts, Sorry to bombard you with politics, but this is politics of the Sciencey, Physicisy kind, the Open University (the very University I study Astronomy at) teaches Astronomy and Physics to an undergraduate level, as well as this it has a lot of PhD research projects in Astronomy itself, despite the support […]

When Astronomy makes you feel small!

Well, I’ve been procrastinating in bed, trying to sleep, trying to take mind off some puzzling q’ns that arise within cosmology mainly. Mainly to the determined cosmologists insisting the existence of dark matter, to me it’s merely inferred from a rather abstract idea. What if the galaxy rotation curves for example are the product of […]

Heads up! – Proper Posting Imminent!

Hello fellow Astrogeekateres, Apologies for the rather late, and infrequent postings as I originally promised for this blog. However i’m hoping to change this shortly with my first focus/news post on the NuSTAR, (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array) as it has recently been in the spotlight for presenting it’s first images of a high energy ‘flare-up’ caused […]

Sexism-Embeded into society still to this day?!

Just thought I’d share this; a brilliant tweet by @Jess_Chemgeek (as a response to @EverydaySexism ‘s original tweet) who is an active campaigner for women in STEM subjects, as well as being a big communicator as a Chemistry whizz on twitter! Although this is a very humorous highlight on the picture shown in this tweet, it’s still shocking […]

A Blog all about Astronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology!

Hi all, First of all, welcome to this new blog page. At the moment it’s rather bare, but not to worry as I hope to fill it up over time with as much Astro related goodness as possible. Whether it is reviewing new papers/letters/articles in a professional stance, giving tips and advice on observational techniques/telescopes […]
