Astronomy (PhD)
University of Washington · Seattle, United States
About this programme
Astronomy is the quest to make the Universe comprehensible; an adventure into the beginning of time and through the vast distances of space. We ask how stars and planetary systems form and evolve, how galaxies form, how the elements arose, and probe the origin, fate, and structure of the Universe. Along the way we challenge and enrich physics with our discoveries.
