I also

Although I'm majoring in Computer science I've always enjoyed learning about astronomy. I guess is my curiosity about how we fit in the universe and thirst for knowledge. However, I can still make contributions to astronomy by creating more advance technology for the astronomers, for example thanks to how computers have advance this far astronomy has taken advantage of that by using powerful telescopes and programs.

The competition for getting a job in Astronomy is lower than being a lawyer. Since you want to be an astronomer the "competition" is just being interested at doing research. PH D isn't required if you want to work at a planetarium but is usually required for conducting cutting edge research. Just know that Ph D. students are paid to study (especially for math fields)

that is my dream job

what a noble line of work, i admire astronomers.

I'm so horrible at Algebra and Math above it.. No matter how hard i study and how many tutors help me.. I'm 22 years old now. Graduated in 2011. I took Math classes throughout my High School career and graduated with C's for Math. I really really want to be an Astronomer but i looked it up and in Majors classes like Calculus and Trigonometry are strongly required to take.. Space fascinates me. Its infinite vastness amazes me and its so mysterious. I don't know if it was the way my past teachers taught me as to why I'm not good at Algebra and higher math. Or is my brain really that stubborn and doesn't want to process the frustrating problems that i look at when i see Algebra on a Math paper? I honestly don't know. Is there any way i can still be an Astronomer without having the brain of a super computer? I'm just looking for answers.

HI! Im a geophysicist about to present my thesis for my BS, math is enormus so its tough to find a place to start, they key is to FULLY understand what are you doing, dont feel bad if you need to go back, and back to understand a concept, its so worth it and it will diferenciate you from people who can do the math but cant understand why they did it. Im almost graduate but I still struggle with math a bit, if you get frustrated it wont matter if you are doing astronomy or marketing, just have fun! And if you realize you just dont love math, maybe you can go for a BS in geology, it does have math but not as complicated and later you can do planetary geology I guess, Im from mexico so things are a bit different here. Also telescope technicians are very usefull!

Man, I love this series. I hope they keep it up. I didn't think much of Cosmology or Astronomy years ago, but a lot of what I've learned now makes it soooo much more exciting and interesting than I could have imagined.

I want to be an astronomer so bad I'm only thirteen but I've planned out my entire life I want to go to MIT I want to major in astronomy/astrophysics I want to live and work in Boston and I want 4 kids. I've never wanted anything more in my life. I'm in 8th grade taking advanced math with straight A+'s in all classes taking geometry over the summer and algebra 2 my freshmen year can't wait.. do you think I can do it?

One thing I suggest is to go to Zooniverse website. There are a lot of astronomy-related citizen science projects where everyone can help the astronomers with the data gathering.

hope it's been going well for you. Try to take AP Calc sophomore year and devote lots of time to it. And if you keep excelling in school you have a shot at MiT. try to stand out. And even if you dont go to mit, you can still find great physics degrees in many places, then focus on Astro for gradschool

Willow Graal, just shut up please

I would like to be Dieter Nürnberger

Wow, what an awesome job. I wish I could get a job like that.

Thanks for sharing this

5 stars as always...And nice to know that somebody is looking for Brown Dwarfs. I would like to know what they came up with.

Fascinating : really intersting to see the reality of the coal face of astronomy... thank you so much for making this. So heartening that this is done to gradually increase our knowledge of the universe, so we no longer have to rely on a 2000 year old story book.

hey, i really want to become an astronomer, but i've heard that the pay isn't too great. this doesn't put me off at all, but can someone maybe clarify around how much astronomers make in the uk? thanks

why are there only two of them?

@Astronomy1996 After they finish their bachelor's degree in college Astronomer's will have to apply to graduate school, but if that graduate school really has an interest in them (and their research), they will usually be paid to go to graduate school. With that said, a path in astronomy isn't necessarily for everyone since it requires so much time in academia

Nice cape superman.

A good question answered.

Yes it is! Cool!

That last minute made this whole video awkward to watch O_O

This is the time on Sprockets when we dance!

It is my passion and I love mathmatics.I wish I will be a great astronomer. Can l will be a astronomer?

I was thinking the same thing.

How ??

There's no such thing as a loser as long as you do what you love. Looks like you have some growing up to do.

sounds like a pretty sweet job. you guys looking for someone without any experience or education in the necessary fields?

@Astronomy1996 A ph.D is 8 years. So you'd be about 26yrs old.

The best things in life are hard to come by. Not many good jobs for astronomy and decent pay. At least my eyes will see art in the sky. :P

My wife is a dancer and a chemical engineer, I don't have any problems! A man isn't defined by his clothes, he is defined by how awesome he is. I have always been able to attract women in a simple t-shirt with messy hair. Women love somebody with extreme confidence, and you can't be more confident than some turd dressed up like these guys.

I'm also up all night :P I'm gonna be an astronomer! lol

r there lots of jobs out there for astronomers.,, ??

how many times did she say "telescope"? hahahaha

Fashion sense? For me, clothing is just a means to avoid going to prison for indecent exposure. Who cares about society and fashion when you have such interesting explorations in logic and science?

Hey, I am German, ok, so keep it cool:-)

Bruh u kinda didint need to tell us, like not a big deal

Seems risky to choose astronomy as a career. Who's going fund you and so on?

@ChRIs23696 i would like to be an astronomer to :) i think the salaries goes from 60k to 100k, so i guess its nice

Well a brown Dwarf is a failed star is it not? Like a planet between the size of Jupitor-the Sun. Sounds cool now that i think about it. Half way between a planet and a star. Why are you interested in them? Its not the planet-X thing is it :P

I am 13 and I want to be an astronmer but bad at math right know I am in algebra honours 1 class

It could of done without the guy in the speedo briefs.

Astronomers get all the chicks.

It is a pointless argument, we both clearly have our priorities and interests outside of being smart. None of them, for me, are arguing on youtube and caring about "class". It's all about the mathbooks!

@TheMathKing science explains fashion lol

You get paid 100,000 and are required a phd to look at space?

Well you have to be good at math.. "Looking at space" is much more complicated than it sounds I mean not the action but what your doing .there are specific jobs like for stars or planets or how galaxies work I guess .. It's not something an average person can do without the proper teaching..

I guess banker is much safer, oops.

i wanna be an astronmer but i suck at math, my average is a B for math every single daye lol...

pretty one sided view. fashion sense is far less important for many things than anything else. the fact you think its more important than being intelligent (in any way), live a life you can enjoy etc. just shows me you dont do what you want to.
