Join in for an era of rapid discovery the likes of which we’ve never seen.
There has been an explosion of new discovery in astronomy and planetary sciences in the past decade, and hardly a week goes by without a headline announcing some major new breakthrough.
These range from finding new Earth-like planets around other stars, to making precise images of the universe soon after the Big Bang, to finding evidence for ice-volcanoes on the moons of Saturn, to finding possible evidence for the most important ingredient for life (liquid water) on the surface of Mars. The next decade promises to bring forth of wealth of new discoveries far surpassing those to date.
Studying astronomy and planetary sciences at Hartwick means you’ll be on the cutting edge of what’s next.
