They are very interested in astronomy.

The fifth X ray astronomy satellite (ASTRO E) and an infrared astronomy satellite are being studied for launch in the late 1990s.

It seems that he is interested in astronomy.

Well the answer is the science of radio astronomy.

There's a long history in astronomy of unlikely things turning out to be there. And I mean, the finest example of that was radio astronomy as a whole.

Take astronomy as an example, which Yochai has already mentioned.

1. Decides to declare 2009 the International Year of Astronomy

What does astronomy tell us about the starry firmament above ?

In infrared astronomy, observations from stratospheric balloons and sounding rockets have been conducted.

So here in astronomy, you have this vast explosion of new productive resources.

It's going to change the way we do astronomy, it's going to change the way we teach astronomy and I think most importantly it's going to change the way we see ourselves in the universe.

I was a member of the astronomy club, and I should have known better.

My colleagues in infra red astronomy call minus 200 Kelvin is cool for them.

And that, of course, that set back the progress of radio astronomy by about 20 years.

I have to talk about astronomy without showing you any single image of nebulae or galaxies, etc.

Today, the country is believed to have about 60 working astronomers, more than half of all the astronomers working in Africa. South Africa is the jewel of African astronomy, says Charles McGruder, a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Western Kentucky University.

Within the same complex as the Satellite Applications Centre, South Africa operates the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory (HARTRAO).

The Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite (SWAS) is to be launched on a Pegasus rocket in 1995 or 1996.

I want to talk about something quite different, which is what I know about, and that is astronomy.

Well, SETI uses the tools of astronomy to try and find evidence of someone else's technology out there.

They teach me the names of the winds and the rains, of astronomy according to a genealogy of stars.

This was originally, when radio astronomy began, Mr. Jansky, at the Bell labs, detected radio waves coming from the sky.

The areas of application include space physics, astronomy, astrophysics, technology demonstrations, communications experiments and acquisition of Earth resource data, including disaster information.

And I started looking at how interesting Drake's Equation was, because it spanned all these different subjects physics, chemistry, sociology, economics, astronomy.
