Iowa State University's Department of Physics and Astronomy
is engaged in
internationally recognized forefront research, and is proud to provide
outstanding teaching and training for all levels of students who want to
become their best.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy currently consists
of 45 faculty,
about 80 undergraduate majors, and 90 graduate students.
Four major research groups span the range of traditional efforts
in physics and astronomy - our groups include condensed matter physics,
nuclear physics, high energy physics and, of course, astrophysics.
The Astrophysics group operates Fick Observatory -
a state-of-the-art
astronomical observatory. Fick Observatory is used for research as well as
for teaching graudate and undergraduate students. This calendar features
some of the glorious sights visible to ISU's telescope under the Iowa Skies.
