Crab Nebulae

Astronomy is the study of the origins, physics, and evolution of planets, stars, galaxies, and the universe as a whole, including how these originate and how they evolve in time. Undergraduates may choose to either major or minor in astronomy and astrophysics. The BS degree leads to graduate study in astronomy and other physical sciences, as well as a solid grounding for teaching in the physical sciences at the primary and secondary levels. Undergraduate research is encouraged and shared via the department's You Tube Channel. View a video of undergraduate research.
Faculty research includes the search for planets around other stars, gravitational lensing, the evolution of stars and galaxies, supermassive black holes, clusters of galaxies, the large-scale structure of the universe, and the origin of the chemical elements in stars and the Big Bang.
Love the night sky? Look for the OSU Planetarium's grand re-opening in January or attend a telescope viewing session.
