A Cardiff based Astronomer and TH-camr, how have I not heard of you before? It's nice to see somebody else is trying to disprove the stereotype of an astronomer just being some old guy looking through a telescope all night, all the ones I use are robotic so I can do it from home with a cuppa in hand.
Omg I’m from Swansea and I was worried that because of where I’m from I might not be able to get into astronomy because maybe there wasn’t anywhere I would be able to work in Wales, how did you get into it if you don’t mind me asking?
this is cute. so many young children researching about what they want to do in the future. i wish my parents had encouraged me to think about my career when i was a kid
For me, my school is basically stressing me out and giving me now less than 1 year to decide what I want to work for the rest of my life because after 9th grade I have to choose between going to just a school or a school with a major which immediately can land you a job somewhere, so the choice is really obvious..
Very interesting indeed. However, at the end you said "I can't think of anything more boring" when talking about looking through a telescope with your own eyes. I disagree. To me there is a star difference between looking at the brilliant images from the Hubble and other observatories on a computer, and the somewhat relaxing nature of going outside in a really dark piece of land and observing the sky with your own eyes the old fashioned way. The difference can be seen when you show non Astronomers, let's say Saturn, through a telescope and an image from Cassini. I think (as it does me) it helps them grasp what they're seeing and get a better understanding of the solar system we live in. Same for galaxies and star clusters. I could go on but I think I made my point.
I feel it depends on the type of person. I know many engineers, and one of the issues they came to terms with is you rarely physically see the achievement of your work. For some chemicals, it was how much efficiency they achieved. For some mechanicals, it was how much safer a process now is. Everything on the surface looks the same, but the conceptual is what changed in a drastic way. Many astronomers are probably at a point of not caring what the millionth galaxy looks like. They want to know the dynamics of it, and that takes many calculations. Unchartered data may be exposed, which could explain other theories. That is what they are striving for. I'm guessing aerospace photographers are the ones looking through the telescope many nights, as that is what they strive for. It's amazing how many go to college with a misunderstanding of what many professions actually do.
Max Sainz. I totally agree. Being stuck in doors looking at the universe on a computer screen can get immensely boring but when you take a telescope out for the night and set up is the greatest feeling any Astronomer can feel.
I'm 15 years old, and i have been introduced to a lot of astronomy and science here on youtube, and i really want to work with this stuff on a daily bases, i come from Denmark though, i don't know how many astronomers there is here, but i really want to be one, i just don't know how good grades you need to have to be an astronomer :)
When you want to go into astrobiology (more so the astronomy part) I’m good at algebra, physical science, biology but I HATE geometry so it’s making my gpa dip😩 hopefully I’ll make it into college lol
Search the math topics on the Khan Academy TH-cam channel, and see if it will help you better understand whatever the problem is. Many grade school and college students use it.
i’m 16 and this was my dream job only a year ago, still is i have to admit. unfortunately i’m a dreadful mathematician and no matter how many times we have to write research papers during high school in philippines i will hate it no matter what so it’s out of the question :(( so i stuck to humanities instead! oh well!
A year ago i really was thinking about being a astronomer too, but now i'm 14 and realized that i don't like the math or the fact that i would need to study too much to get this almost impossible career here in Brazil. I realized that i just liked the stars and since i am very familiar with poetry in my main language (Portuguese), i decided to write about them (what i can do everyday).

But I’m quite determined to become one.
Thank you, Matthew! I still can’t be drawn far away from the eyepiece. Old school, i guess.

Oooh, so familiar :) I'm studying astrophysics at the Ural Federal University, and even if I'm not a professional astronomer yet I still have to do the same things)
I turn 16 in a month and I graduate form high school in two years, my parents are forcing me to pick a degree to go into and I’m thinking astronomy. So yeah, this year I’ll be a junior so I’ll be doing a bunch of college stuff. Wish me luck!
We work almost all day and in weekends so we don't have much time to spend with family or friends or maybe travelling. To become a scientist, you need to work and study very hard. An astronomer should know astronomy, physics, mathematics, statistics and computer programming, so lots of work. However, it has an amazing feeling when you see the results of these efforts and understand how the universe works.
I’m watching this because I love science and I’m doing a HUGE project for school and for my topic I chose astronomy plus I want to be one and study space
What kind of math do you astronomers use? I'm curious because I want to study something in the astronomy field. Also, what degree do you need to work at NASA?
there are tons of professions at NASA ,study something belongs to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics) choose one of these fields that excites you the most
As an undergrad, I can confirm I have used calculus as well as trig in my physics/astronomy courses. Also, NASA probably won't employ any astronomy/astrophysics majors. However, they do look for aerospace engineers or a degree such as engineering physics.
10 and I really want to be an astronomer!! I don’t know how often I’ll get to see family though but I’ve always been interested in space and always wanted to study stars and just space
16 year old hoping to be an astrophysicist or astronomer! I’m starting college in September and I’ve picked maths and physics, wish me luck lol (rip) (:
I really felt a connection with space when i first saw jupiter and saturn trough my spotting scope, i saw europa, IO, ganymedes around jupiter, i saw the beautifull rings around saturn, pleaides next to venus, im saving money now for the 200p newtonian with goto, i hope to see alot more
Yes, you should. Just because you're not that skilled in math doesn't mean you won't become an astronomer. All that means is that you're just gonna have to work harder to become an astronomer.
I am 12 and I Want to be an astronomer it is my dream, I am not too good at math but I am always reading about stars and science boocklets. For following my goal I have learn English (I talk spanish).

Santosh Bhattarai Not a lot of universities offer the astronomy career, but you can study other things like programing or engineering and specialize on astronomy areas, where this people are needed a lot ;)

Im 14 and im really interesred in astronomy. Sadly im not good in english and i dont know if there is a astronomer job in my land. Yeah sorry my english is crap
Another problem is... im good in everything but only in math im completly bad. For some reason when my teacher explains me something i dont unterstand anything. When my father or friends explain me something i unterstand it. But it really sucks because it kinda sucks when i have to learn everything at home and not in the school. But in school i dont understand math :/

Hi! I am actually extremely interested in working as an astrophysicist or electrical engineer. The funny thing is, I also love computer science! Would it be reasonable to double major in CS and astrophysics? Is that marketable? Or do you already have education with CS in the astrophysics major?

Whys everyone giving out their age?😂
My exact question lol
If you are enjoying you will not give your age but enjoys it
Idk. (Even tho I did it to lol)
Ikr?!
I know, it's crazy. I'm 50 a f I'd never ever admit to that online!
Fuck.
Sounds depressing... I like the night sky
exactly me
@@AstroRoxy me too . I feel like looking through a telescope and writing on paper and counting by yourself is wonderful
Yeah me too the thing that got me into astronomy I find it relaxing
Oooh, so familiar :) I'm studying astrophysics at the Ural Federal University, and even if I'm not a professional astronomer yet I still have to do the same things)
I hope you succeed!!
@@pamelaia thank you :)
How’s it going with your field now?
I turn 16 in a month and I graduate form high school in two years, my parents are forcing me to pick a degree to go into and I’m thinking astronomy. So yeah, this year I’ll be a junior so I’ll be doing a bunch of college stuff. Wish me luck!
I love space the study of the universe and the advancement in space technology
i do too its extremely interesting
how many hours you work? do you get time to spend with your family?
We work almost all day and in weekends so we don't have much time to spend with family or friends or maybe travelling. To become a scientist, you need to work and study very hard. An astronomer should know astronomy, physics, mathematics, statistics and computer programming, so lots of work. However, it has an amazing feeling when you see the results of these efforts and understand how the universe works.
Why do people always ask that shitty question?
@@-yourandyoureare2different612
EXACTLY!!!!!I always see this question!!!!
@@Michelle-ky8qt I wanna be alone and die alone, don't wanna spend no time with people!
@@-yourandyoureare2different612
Same...well the thing is no one wants to spend time with me,no one wants to be with me so now I like being alone.
I’m watching this because I love science and I’m doing a HUGE project for school and for my topic I chose astronomy plus I want to be one and study space
I used to hate physics but as soon as we started talking about radioactivity and radioactive isotopes it became 10x more interesting
What kind of math do you astronomers use? I'm curious because I want to study something in the astronomy field. Also, what degree do you need to work at NASA?
there are tons of professions at NASA ,study something belongs to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics) choose one of these fields that excites you the most
Tm_12 Mostly Calculus.
You also use trigonometry alot
As an undergrad, I can confirm I have used calculus as well as trig in my physics/astronomy courses. Also, NASA probably won't employ any astronomy/astrophysics majors. However, they do look for aerospace engineers or a degree such as engineering physics.
Tm_12 you need a PhD in Astronomy which is around 5-7 years in university
10 and I really want to be an astronomer!! I don’t know how often I’ll get to see family though but I’ve always been interested in space and always wanted to study stars and just space
16 year old hoping to be an astrophysicist or astronomer! I’m starting college in September and I’ve picked maths and physics, wish me luck lol (rip) (:
Good luck!
I love space and things like that, I wanna know the details of the job :>
I really felt a connection with space when i first saw jupiter and saturn trough my spotting scope, i saw europa, IO, ganymedes around jupiter, i saw the beautifull rings around saturn, pleaides next to venus, im saving money now for the 200p newtonian with goto, i hope to see alot more
I want to become an Astromer when I grow up, but I'm not very skilled in math😥.
Should I still proceed my dream job?
Yess
Ya
Yes, you should. Just because you're not that skilled in math doesn't mean you won't become an astronomer. All that means is that you're just gonna have to work harder to become an astronomer.

I am 14 and I want to be an astrophysicist and an astronomer. This video though me alot. Thank you.
do you have Tumblr?
Astronomy is the most beautiful of all sciences
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I am 12 and I Want to be an astronomer it is my dream, I am not too good at math but I am always reading about stars and science boocklets. For following my goal I have learn English (I talk spanish).
too much thinking but that’s why you gotta love it
I am an astronomy's student in Argentina and the things in this video are real haha. Astronomy 😍
Aw there’s too much smartness for me to do this 🥺
I’m 11 and I want to be an astronaut to discover new places and new creatures. Who knows what’s out there?
It’s actually my thing because I know a lot about science, specifically in the Human body and Astronomy.
Kafftum : I’m in 6th...
I’m 2 and I know I was born to be an astronomer, I just can’t wait for the opportunity to explore the field
you're 2? 😂
I have just been studying at highschool in Nepal. I am interested in Astro Physics but I couldnot find a Good college for Astro Physics here.. Now I am searching for A good college abroad . Please recommend me a good and Affordable college... Hoping for Reply 😊😊😊
Santosh Bhattarai Not a lot of universities offer the astronomy career, but you can study other things like programing or engineering and specialize on astronomy areas, where this people are needed a lot ;)
Study BSc or BE and then you can study astronomy in Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA)
Good luck then! I am also interested at taking astronomy as a major in the future but couldn't find any great colleges for it, that's why I will try hard to get a scholarship... I hope we both achieve our goal 😊
We're on the same page I guess
I also have just started highschool here in nepal and I aim to be a astro physicist
Instead of searchin for affordable price universities

I am 16 yrs old and want to be an astrophysicist
I am 12 and i love science
and i want to become a astronomer and i even sold my
favorit durt bike to buy a telescope thanks for this vid
I’m 13 and I want to do something with space it is so fascinating!😁
You are an great astronomer
Im 14 and im really interesred in astronomy. Sadly im not good in english and i dont know if there is a astronomer job in my land. Yeah sorry my english is crap
It's pretty good to me! It sounds fluent. :)
Maybe you can save up, and then move somewhere else which offers you a job in astronomy.
Another problem is... im good in everything but only in math im completly bad. For some reason when my teacher explains me something i dont unterstand anything. When my father or friends explain me something i unterstand it. But it really sucks because it kinda sucks when i have to learn everything at home and not in the school. But in school i dont understand math :/
@@pazcal3k162 It's probably because you can stop and ask why this is this or whatever, but with teachers they go through everything in one go and don't pause.
I want to be a astronomer too, but I wish I knew more people who are interested in becoming one as well
Astronomy is rare but it is added in branches of subjects
I didn't know this was a video and since this has been posted, I have had the dream of being an astronomer. I am only 13, but I hope this video gives me more thought on what to look on for the future. I was wondering if you work for NASA or another place.
this was great! I love looking thru telescopes though, so who are the people that get paid to look through telescopes??
Thank you so much this video really helped me
Hi, yes, I want to become an Astronomer because my name is Galilea. :") #girlversionofGalileo
Forestt L. Ayyy
That is a very bad reason to become an astronomer...
mine is Galexia xd
So,
a lot of reading,
a lot of looking at screens,
a lot of running computer codes,
and of course,
a lot of writing.
I am 13 and my aim is to become astronomer . I obiviously loved yhe video
i wanna become a astronomer at nasa when im older but it would mean so much work and im not an us citizen. but if i do somehow get the job it would be worth it
dad hate me to become astronomer and also its sooo hard because im from Philippines.. I really love astronomy since im 3 yrs old... but my parents ruin all.... I dont know what is my future work, im only thinking all day if i want to be astronaut or i wanna be a astronomers... and also im weak in math and science except in astronomy.... i love it
Hmmm I’m good at maths and space science but I’m scared of space, like being inside of it, but it’s really fascinating if u ask me I don’t know why I’m commenting this but yeah space stuff is great
Space has made me Curious,now I am 14 years old and I feel like I've only scratched the surface of Astronomy and Astrophysics
I'm gonna be an astronomer I've been looking forward to it cinse I was 5
You still want to be an Astronomer?
I’m 12 and my dream job is anything astronomical, mainly astronomer
It’s so great to hear that some gen alpha’s have ambitions!! I’m a gen z and nowadays people I know would never even think about being an astronomer bc of the work
Sameeee I am 10 tho
Yeah i am a CEH and a science lover
I’m a Math major can I become an astronomer with my degree? Or like an astronomy related mathematician?
Its 10 years of math, physics, science, computer science, and alot of writing. 😅
I want to be an astronomer but im afraid of the futur i have a feeling that i can be a one .one day but another feel that i cant i dont why but i dont have money to go to study astronomy in another country and hurts me alot pff
How old are u?
@@moreqasse 18
@@hiba.1001 can I ask how did it go? I mean what did u do?
Future Astronomer here!!
Wow, that was incredibly useful! I would love to interview you for some research I'm doing! Let me know
I’m not sci student but i really would like to be astronomers 😥
I am a kid my name is Harsha I love Astronomy
Hi! I am actually extremely interested in working as an astrophysicist or electrical engineer. The funny thing is, I also love computer science! Would it be reasonable to double major in CS and astrophysics? Is that marketable? Or do you already have education with CS in the astrophysics major?
did it ever work out?
You get to program and study the universe at the same time?? I must be dreaming.....(I'm in 8th grade)
Luv ❤ the background music
It’s like PacMan on steroids
I love astronomy so I want to be an astronomer

unicorn channel Allende WOW your so good.I want to be an astronomer to but unfortunately I’m bad at math but good at everything except math.Anyway good luck 😉.
Rator Nator
i believe in you!!!
unicorn channel Allende Thanks
That’s good!! Which math and science?
I'm 13 and I have a passion about the universe, galaxies, but, however, does it require to be extremely good at Math and how good exactly? I love the study of stars and how stars are formed and created. Will you still have time for our families?
How stars are formed is Cosmology not Astronomy
I want to become an astronomer
His hairline tells you anything you need to know about the life of an astronomer.....
