Description:

A transit of the planet Mercury as viewed from Earth occurs when Mercury passes between the Sun and the Earth. Mercury appears as a small black circle or dot projected onto the disk of the Sun and the entire event lasts several hours.For more information go here.Physics faculty Drs. Smith and Walter made presentations at the April 23, 2016, Meeting of Astronomers in South Carolina (MASC) held at Furman University.For more information go here.Total Solar Eclipses: From Indonesia to South Carolina DISTINGUISHED RESEARCH SHOWCASE FOR FACULTY/STUDENTS Speaker: Dr. Donald WalterDate: Tuesday, April 12, 2016Location: ECSC Auditorium Room 100The recent March 2016 total solar eclipse in Indonesia was observed by a large number of teams from across the globe who traveled to the islands for the event, including a student-faculty pair from South Carolina State University. We present the results of our observations from that trip. Additionally, we will discuss the upcoming August 2017 total solar eclipse that will pass through South Carolina and be visible from the campus of SC State.To view the presentation go here.

POCA, funded under an National Science Foundation Program: Partnerships in Astronomy and Astrophysics Research and Education (PAARE), represents a partnerships between South Carolina State University, the National Optical Astronomy Observatory and Clemson University. The mission of POCA is to develop an effective, long-term partnership that combines the strengths of the three institutions to increase the scientific and educational output of all the partners with special emphasis on enhancing diversity in the field of astronomy. Go to web site SC State is a charter member of the RCT Consortium which has taken over management of the 1.3-meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory, approximately 50 miles west of Tucson, Arizona. Faculty members and students use the facility in its robotic mode by submitting observing scripts each night. The telescope carries out the requests without human intervention and delivers the data each morning over the Internet. A wide range of astronomical objects are studied by SC State and its RCT partners Western Kentucky University and Villanova University as well as by other national and international groups. Go to web site From August 1995 through February 2009, NASA funded research, educational and public outreach programs at SCSU. This link will open a collection of web pages describing these programs. Cosmology is the scientific study of how the universe began and evolved, and the people who do this work are called cosmologists.
