| | Info | The Astrophysics Research Institute at Liverpool John Moores University is one of the world's leading authorities in Astronomy and Astrophysics.
The work of the ARI supports a comprehensive programme in observational and theoretical research, telescope instrumentation, academic learning and outreach activities.
Research interests of the ARI cover time-domain astrophysics, galaxy formation and evolution, galaxy clusters, gamma-ray bursts and studies in star formation.
The ARI was a recipient of the 2005 Queen's Anniversary Prize for its outstanding achievements in Higher and Further Education, including the development of the world's largest fully robotic telescope - the Liverpool Telescope and its innovative educational programmes in UK schools and colleges.
Inclusive to this programme has been the development of the three year BSc and four-year MPhys courses in Astronomy and Astrophysics, an expansion in the range of exciting distance learning courses offered by ARI, the development of Spaceport and the prestigious National Schools' Observatory that is helping to lead the way in bringing astronomy directly into many UK schools. | | Last Update | 2010-04-30 (388) |
