Space is a field of science that includes all scientific disciplines including space exploration and the study of natural phenomena and physical bodies that occur in outer space, such as space medicine and astrobiology. It is also considered as a science which covers a broad range of disciplines, from meteorology and geology to lunar, solar, and planetary science, to astronomy and astrophysics, to the life sciences and many more kinds of sciences. Space science courses online is a relatively young field and has good strategic assets. Space science covers every small question related to space from then till now every small question about space and happenings in it has been answered by space science.
Space science courses online is a field that shapes the future of young scientists from basic to advanced levels by giving them in-depth knowledge about the Earth and an understanding of the universe. Thus, the field of space science helps in building up a future where people are enthusiastic enough to learn about science and technology more and more thus having a good rate of literacy in science and technology can be a great deal for the future. If we’re among the ones who dream of making their mark in the field of science, then we are the lucky ones as we get to know about our universe.
According to recent trends, we get to know that Space Exploration and related careers are an ever-expanding area with a great potential for numerous future career specialists. This field requires a highly competitive skill set of space technologies, management, media skills, knowledge of physical and biological sciences, and many more. And by all this, we get to know that space has become a huge arena for specialists in every field to operate.
We see ‘n’ number of career options in the field of space science if our broader interest topic is
Space; some of which are mentioned in this article:
Astronomy Courses: A field of science that deals with the study of outer space like galaxies, solar systems, stars, black holes, planets, and so many different celestial bodies.
Astronauts: The people who actually go to outer space and explore it with all the pinpoints carried in their minds.
Space Technology: It includes all spacecraft, satellites, space stations, support infrastructure equipment, various other procedures related to space and space warfare.
Engineering: The astronauts and space stations may fetch a large part of people’s attention but it is the engineers who are the backbone of Space exploration. From the designing of spacecraft, launch vehicles, space stations, satellites, and many more to an immense scope in fields like aerospace, robotics, computer engineering, material sciences, as well as mechanical and telecom engineering we see that engineers are a supporting hand in the development of space technology.
Space Research: It involves people from different fields like astrophysicists (astronomers who study celestial objects and how they interact with other space bodies), biologists (research how spaceflight affects those living in a spacecraft or the space station), biochemists, and biophysicists (look into the chemical and physical aspects of all things and their biological actions), geoscientists (study & analyze the physical nature of the Earth), astrobiologists (research life as it exists on Earth to learn about life that may exist on other planets) are all examples of space scientists who do the research part and let the space stations know about the situations and major happenings in space. Beyond research, there is a field of teaching also in space stations where you could work as an associate professor of space physics and also be involved in the analysis of data obtained from spacecraft.
Space Law: It is the body of law governing space-related activities which comprises a wide range of agreements, conventions, treaties, and the regulations of international organizations that the space stations have to follow, and if any laws are violated then strict actions are imposed on them.
Space Tourism: A growing number of businesses are aiming to step into the space tourism industry. Some big players engaged and hiring in this field are Virgin Galactic, SpaceX, Blue Origin, Orion, Orion Span (Space Hotel), and Boeing as they know that currently space tourism is in trend and many people want to explore more about space these days.
Space Architecture: This involves the study and practice of designing and constructing inhabitable environments in outer space because it is found that outer space also has a living and people can live in it. There are plans to have space hotels but not in the too-distant future!
Space Medicine/Psychology: It is the practice of medicine for astronauts in outer space. A large part of it involves mitigating the physiological changes caused by weightlessness as well as psychological issues because it is not an easy life in outer space as it is somewhat easy on the earth.
Exploring these careers is worthwhile and entering the field of space is in trend these days.
pioneer organization working towards development of science and astronomy in India. It aims to create a scientifically aware society and contribute to technological and social development.

Damn someone had to say it, thank you🤩🤩
Why is dark academia all about literature?? Can't the "how to turn a sphere inside out" video count as academia because it's a lesson and it's dark because it's confusing
Like can I enjoy dark academia about physics?? And not about Oscar Wilde (he's cool tho) I'm just Jared, 19, never fucken learned how to read
Subjects that belong in academia proletaria (and should be more appreciated):
Religious Studies - theology, polytheism, ancient evidence of religion in Cape Town cave paintings, timelines of Zoroastrianism and Judaism, Animism and Taoism, Yoruba and Zulu. Respectful visits to Mosques and Temples, puzzling your own spirituality together piece by piece or not at all, never loving the study of it any the less
Geography - glaciers, entire ecosystems in decomposing logs on the forest floor, wildfires and serotinous pine cones, how the Himalayas themselves have stopped wars - documentaries and encyclopaedias, memorised walking routes through rainy heathlands, the scrappy camaraderie of the university mountaineering society and a devotion to the breadth of learning that academics so often dismiss as the generalist’s science
Language - Mandarin, Arabic, Russian, Hindi, Amharic, Portuguese - the dialect of the changing modern world and the roots of the very essence of communication deep in history, audiobooks you can hardly keep up with and pocket books stuffed full of vocabulary
Civil Engineering - bridges, train tracks, redbrick and brutalism - drawing out entire towns in a notebook, scale models and the smell of fresh paint, a wardrobe very clearly divided into “clothes I have already ruined” and “clothes people are surprised to see me in because they aren’t covered in oil or superglue”, a good pair of boots
Education - having loved your subject so much that you couldn’t bear to leave education behind, seeing great things for the next generation even if they don’t quite know where they’re going yet, backpacks full of books to mark and nostalgic home-town teaching placements, a bad photo on your lanyard and students hanging back after class to talk (even when its sixth period and getting dark)
Social Policy, social work - setting off lively debates in the local state school on one day, and speaking quietly with an angry kid while the rain falls outside your office window on another - protecting libraries, community meetings, union strikes and non-gov organisations, posters made with the help of local youth groups and jackets with “the young are at the gates” stitched across the chest
Subjects that still belong in academia proletaria even if they are already appreciated:
Literature and poetry, of course, don’t let them make you think these are out of your reach or disregard their romanticism. War poems, American literature, Anne Carson’s Antigone and the joy of reading books that indulge just a little on your childish side, experiencing again the ability to read books like breathing air as you did when you were young (the bone clocks by David Mitchell (READ IT!!))
Mathematics, thinking in numbers and seeing patterns everywhere. Adding up your late-night corner-shop haul sum in your head before you see the numbers on the cash register, harbouring a strange attachment to prime numbers, the careful chronology of a formula breaking numbers into their hidden parts down the side of your page (lots of pencil shavings)
Music, picking up an instrument in a high school music tech cupboard and never putting it down again, finding tutoring where you can and vehemently keeping up with the kids who took lessons since they were six, scratching out compositions on printer-paper manuscript and knowing the garageband software inside out. “Play me a song to set me free, nobody writes them like they used to so it may as well be me”
Art, We All Hate Damien Hirst, sort of getting what the Dadaists where going for at this point, borrowing (stealing) materials from the department and stepping in paint, genuinely compelling photography and a friendly relationship with the local photo printing shop in town, sometimes taking things too seriously but more often not taking them seriously enough, CARBON PAPER !!
History - the brilliant “beware of the dog” mosaic in Pompeii, Italy, Horrible Histories songs, an unusual depth of knowledge to do with the Great Fire of London, mental maps of historical museums and books about everything from Genghis Khan to the Six Day War. Digging up the time capsule you buried when you were 11 because you put that CD you really loved in and want it back even though you had hoped it would outlast the centuries
“Find something you love to do and then… do it for the rest of your life.”
I watched half of Bad Samaritan so I had to pause and watch Davd Tennant compilations otherwise I think I would have just been left scarred for life
trying to find a fic that you binge read some time ago and then forgot to save is truly an olympic sport and I accept no criticism
