Astronomy

In this year I explored key astronomical principles, advanced observational techniques and got the chance to visit the TU Delft.

I learned about Kepler's laws of planetary motion and Newton's law of universal gravitation. I researched methods used to measure distances in the universe, such as parallax, standard candles, and redshift, exploring the cosmic distance ladder's importance in determining the universe's size and scale. 

Additionally, I studied the Big Bang theory, including cosmic microwave background radiation and the abundance of light elements.

I explored advanced observational techniques like interferometry and gravitational lensing.

When I visiting the Science Center of  the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) I gained more knowledge about topics like gravitational wave astronomy, stellar pulsations, cosmic inflation and phenomena like gamma-ray bursts, quasars or active galactic nuclei.

I then learned about the behavior of plasma, for example in accretion disks, stellar coronae and the interstellar medium.

Finally, I explored extragalactic objects like galaxy clusters, super clusters and cosmic voids.
