The Curious Owl is right. It's not easy for anyone at first. You just do the math so much that you will get used to it and don't have to look things up. It really is one of those "practice makes perfect" sort of things. One day you'll look back at things you used to think were complicated and think they are easy. Something else would seem complicated by then LOL!

@Taricus

It can be a little competitive, but there aren't always enough people with the level of degree required. There's all different sorts of jobs, working for the government, academia, or the private sector. The private sector is really opening up too, with all the commercial spaceflight companies that have started in the area--like Space X and Virgin Galactic. The people who have to write papers are generally working in academia, at a university, and they're usually trying to get their research published. They already know they need results and will have to write papers. Government and private sector would have a lot less issues with trying to impress someone for funding. In academia, the person's main job will be teaching, mixed with research, and they'll have to be writing so get funding approved by the university they are at. In turn, the university would favor people who actually get results and prove themselves, because that's what will get donors for the grants. In private sector, it is a business that gets its funding through business (like a cell phone company paying to have a satellite brought up on the next mission), so they don't need to deal with that. Government labs and agencies already have a budget (whatever legislation allowed them to have) and they divide it between missions and research themselves.

This is an amazing video. I'm hoping that i can do what you do. Im going to study astronomy at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand.(im from the U.S.A)

IIRC There's often a visible light (or non gamma ray atleast ...) afterglow that they want to take a picture of as soon as possible

what is that song at 1:57?

@lumaix Are these courses for high school?, amongst those three I think I'll choose chemistry instead of statistics. Also, thank you for the reply!

If I did my maths right, and GRBs travel at c, then you detected a GRB from almost 13, 000 lights years away! I cannot even conceive of such a distance, but yet we can observe something that hpenned that far away, and that long ago, I am simply in awe.

@mexicano7771000 Hey, glad to hear you are considering both of these options. Personally, I have been going through something similar. I have been thinking a bit about joining the National Guard (eight years of service) and I've been studying astronomy and physics for four years now (informally, getting my hands on whatever I can get them on). I just had an experience while I was thinking about this. Visualize yourself in each position: 2, 4, 8 (how ever many you want) years down the road.

I'm Fifteen and Currently wanting to be in the U.S. Air force.. Which has a lot A LOT of restrictions upon me since I want to be a fighter pilot.. But I deeply love science and astronomy and am actually pretty good at it, and learn things quickly. This is a very tough choice.

+Ghost572 The tea kettle is 2x10 to the 35th power years. Impossible to convert that to powering houses without making some major assumptions. First, he gave no clue as to how much power his tea kettle uses. Then, how much power does your 'house' use? But, yeah, he could've used an example with more meaning. Even if he used house years though it would still be an astronomical number of years. The energy used by all of civilized Earth might be a start.

I need a better explanation than Google can give me, I'm going back to finish high school a year later and then this summer I think I'm gonna move a few hours to a bigger city in my state and start off with 2 years of community so I can get my core stuff done and then i want so SO badly to either study astronomy or physics or astrophysics or whatever but i believe I'm going to need a PhD to get a real position as an astronomer but it is literally the sciences I like and none that I don't so far so I'm excited. Question is, what's the difference between being an astrophyisicist and an astronomer.

Hello, I want to become a Astrophysicist and I already know it's part of my passion, I want to learn a lot about space and all the celestrial bodies and amazing phenomenon that happens in space but I'm not sure how I become a Astrophysicist. I figured I would obviously need Math, Science ( Astronomy perhaps, physics) and possibly a masters in physics, I'm not sure if this is right but could someone give me a list of courses needed in highschool and university to become one? Thank you so much! :]

Electromagnetic radiation consists of a stream of particles called photons, which we haven't been able to measure the size of yet though it is predicted they are smaller than electrons and quarks. You're also forgetting that there are forms of electromagnetic radiation that don't pass through everything (such as visible light) so the size of the particle is irrelevant.

That's mainly due to the extremely long education one has to go through to even get qualified for such a job. After getting that masters and Ph.D, a scientist is often over 35 when he/she finally gets that dream job.

@TheisticThinker Exactly. So many people have trouble with math because they haven't been properly shown real life representations of what the mathematical equations are describing. And there are some people who just have a real talent for logically mulling over arbitrary numbers in their head. I am one of the latter set of people. However, if I have no real-life phenomenon to correlate to the math, then the numbers themselves don't really INTEREST me.
