Astronomer107 Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 Noah,Unfortunately I am only an amateur astronomer, but when I get out of school, I want to be an astrophysicist. I do study astronomy all the time. I'll be happy to dicuss astronomy-related topics with you!-Jennifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Posted April 9, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2002 I am only an amatuer astronomer. I had thought about being a professional astronomer, but I read something that said even with a Ph. D you only have a 25% chance of getting a job as an astronomer. Right now I am in a community college getting my basics. I thought about going to England in three or four years and going to Cambridge University. Noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astronomer107 Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 Really? Where did you read that? I guess I'll have to work really hard! Good luck at Cambridge!-Jennifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReetsSpaceyGal Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 Hey! Are you really studying to be an astrophysicist too? So am I!!! I'm in my first year of college and that's been my dream for yeeeeears and yeeeears. How did you become interested in astronomy? What subjects do you take? I take advanced maths extended, physics, chem and english. And it first became my passion through star trek, i'm proud to say *grin* Great to know there's someone else like me!

Astronomer1302 Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 Amatuer astronomer here. I still need to get a new eye piece for my telescope though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglecrow Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Any Astronomers? I have been told by paranoid people in my area that the earth is wobbling more thanit should. One friend seems to think the sun sets at an odd place for this time of year.I figure that only asronomers would know that. I could use an astronomer's help on this. ThanksE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halogenesis Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 I volunteered last semester at my school's TeleDome so from time to time I get to sneak in a few great peeks during clear skies. But I'm only an amateur, though I've taken a few courses in astrophysics, and cosmology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzuuup Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 I'm fourteen and I think I want to become an astronomer later. Astronaut was my first choice, but I'm short sighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aki Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 I wanted to be an astronaut when I was like 4, but then I realised that I'm too short, and I'm too scared of heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 I thought astronauts were supposed to be a bit short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlameTheEx Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Aki No reason to be scared of heights. Now me, I am scared of hard surfaces. Well, not always, just when they are a long way below me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aki Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Well I'm sort of scared to go on planes, so there's no way I'm going to survive on a rocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishEyes Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Scared to go on planes? Is this fear about 3 years old, or have you always had it? I ask because my oldest daughter used to love to fly, but has had a great fear of it since 9/11. I know of many other people that also share that as a new fear. Like Blame, I'm not afraid of planes. I am, however, afraid of falllllllling (well, I guess that doesn't mesh with my unexplainable love of bungee jumping, and my lifelong dream to skydive, huh?)
