Hi,
just wondering if I could get any physics projects I could do in my spare time.
I'm only a teenager but love studying phyiscs.

Kind regards,
Charles.

We don't know enough about you to suggest something. Like what your knowledge level is. How mechanically inclined you are. What kind of budget you have to work with. (If any). ETC. Do you have a specific area you would like a project in?
 
My knowledge level of physics is basic since I'm in high school but I score in the top 1% in math in Australia.
Budget doesn't matter.
I have a passion for astrophysics, but that's probably out of this world since where I'm standing now in my understandings of physics. Any area matters, just it has to be fun ! :)

Finance LISA, since NASA so heartlessly abandoned her :cry:

Astrophysics huh? Do you own a telescope, or perhaps a good pair of binoculars? (Ones with wide diameter lenses on the end, and not too high of a magnification) You could study some of the variable stars or something. I havn't done too many science projects, so I can't really think of any good ones.
 
look up the Brooklyn space program. Pretty easy in principle and somewhat low budget. the fun factor looks off the charts, especially if you attach a video camera as they did in the BSP. check the video!
 
Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
