Space physics. Enjoy a free copy of our pilot issue. Like other disciplines within the scope of agu space physics is broad and expansive. Space is treated in a number of articles. For a discussion of the relativity of space and time see relativity.

On the other hand it can be related to other fundamental quantities. A space physics degree provides a strong experimental physics background so graduates emerge from the program ready to work in research or within the burgeoning commercial space industry. Physicists are interested in new physics that curved space can reveal and non euclidean geometries might even help improve designs of certain technologies. Program graduates are also well suited for pursuing careers in medical physics biophysics plasma physics and in the military and security sectors.

In this pilot issue of scientific american space physics we introduce readers to a new publication that. For a description of space as the region of the universe beyond the earth and its atmosphere see cosmos. Space physics is distinct from astrophysical plasma and the field of astrophysics which studies similar plasma phenomena beyond the solar system. Space nobel prize for physics awarded to roger penrose reinhard genzel and andrea ghez the prize was established by inventor alfred nobel who dictated in his will would honor those who have.

One type of non euclidean geometry that is of interest is hyperbolic space also called negatively curved space. Space physics utilizes in situ measurements from high altitude rockets and spacecraft in contrast to astrophysical plasma that relies deduction of theory and astronomical observation. Physicists are interested in new physics that curved space can reveal and non euclidean geometries might even help improve designs of certain technologies.
