Academic Calendars Astronomy Department of Astronomy College of Liberal Arts (CLA) : Catalog Web Site Advising B.A. The program develops the skills necessary to tackle complex and ill defined problems within the physical sciences. The astronomy program prepares students for careers in several broad areas. The B.A. is aimed primarily at students interested in secondary education in the physical sciences, science policy, and science and technical writing. The B.A. can also prepare students to continue their studies in astronomy in graduate school as well. Students take Math 1271-1272 or Math 1371-1372 or Math 1571-1572 (8-10 cr); Math 2243 and 2263 or Math 2373 and 2374 or Math 2573 and 2574 (8 cr); and Phys 1301-1302-2503 or Degree Requirements The astronomy degree has several different tracks depending on the area of specialization the student wishes to pursue. Each of these tracks has the same core math, physics, and astrophysics requirements. In addition to these core courses, each track requires additional credits specific to the area of specialization. These tracks are: secondary education, science writing, science policy, and scientist. The senior thesis (Ast 4994) should be related to the area of specialization, and need not be astrophysics research.

Teacher Professional Development During the Fall of 2005 the New Jersey Astronomy Center for Education (NJACE) will be offering a total of nine workshops. For a listing of our offerings and registration forms see below. All workshops address the New Jersey Science Content Standards in Astronomy as well as the New Jersey Science Process Standards . Teachers will learn about and gain a better understanding of a variety of concepts in astronomy through a selection of the best available hands-on inquiry based activities. New Jersey is the only state in the nation that has a separate astronomy content standard for grades K-12 with performance expectations students in for grades 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 in four strands: A – Sun, Earth, Moon, B – Solar System, C – Stars, D- Galaxies and the Universe . Questions on astronomy will be on the and the th grade GEPA , and the 11th/12th grade HSPA Our workshops will provide teachers with the tools and a deeper understanding of the content knowledge necessary to teach astronomy successfully. Our workshops continuously have been receiving the highest ratings from teachers of all grade levels. At every workshop a hand full of teachers share with us that this was the best and most useful workshop they ever attended.

Department of Astronomy Undergraduate Degree Programs OVERVIEW Although the study of astronomy has ancient roots, it is now one of the most rapidly developing and exciting subjects in modern science. Astronomy is the study of the Universe and its contents: planets, stars, black holes, galaxies, and quasars. Each of these is a fascinating topic in its own right. But perhaps the greatest achievement of modern astronomy has been to gather them all into a rich and coherent picture, one which depicts the origin and evolution of all things from the Big Bang to the development of living organisms. Recent advances in astronomy have derived from new technologies that have yielded instruments of unprecedented power: telescopes with 10-meter mirrors, orbiting satellite observatories for all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, deep space missions to sample planetary atmospheres and surfaces, and huge laboratories for detection of elusive cosmic neutrinos and gravity waves. The excitement and accessibility of astronomy are featured in frequent press coverage of major new discoveries, including in recent years the discovery of planets orbiting other stars, the comet crash onto Jupiter, the discovery of very young galaxies in the distant universe, the possibility of life on Mars, the threat of asteroid collisions with the Earth, and the detection of primeval ripples in the cosmic background radiation. Astronomy draws from, and contributes to, many other subjects: primarily physics but also geology, atmospheric and environmental science, biology, and even philosophy.

The Islamic World to 1600 The medieval Islamic world also made significant advancements in the field of astronomy. Part of the reason for the Muslim interest in astronomy is unique to the Islamic faith, and grew from the Muslim attempt to solve practical problems. Because the Muslim calendar is a lunar calendar, for example, the ability to see, and even predict, the arrival of the new moon was fundamental to marking the beginning and ending of each month. This issue was particularly significant for the month of Ramadan, when fasting is required during the day, and for determining the date of the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. Secondly, the study of astronomy grew out of a need to map the coordinates of the stars, in order to determine the direction of Mecca from any city, because Muslims are required to face that direction when praying. These practical concerns for Muslims led to great advancements in astronomy. Observatories were first established in the Islamic world, in major cities such as Baghdad, Hamadan, Toledo, Maragha, Samarkand, and Istanbul, and new instruments were developed. The Muslim invention of the astrolabe, for example, was one of the most important in astronomy until the invention of the telescope in the 17th century. Muslims were also the first astronomers to challenge the long-accepted theories of Ptolemy and Aristotle regarding eclipses, planetary orbits, and the position of the stars. In the early 11th century, the Muslim physicist, Ibn al-Haytham, measured the height of the earth's atmosphere to be the equivalent of about 52 kilometres; today we know it is about 50 kilometres. In the early 14th century, Ibn al-Shatir designed models for the movement of the moon and the planet Mercury, which are very similar to those later done by Copernicus in the 16th century.
