I chose astronomy as my career, because I think that outer space is interesting. I love learning about different planets and galaxies. The universe is so massive that we couldn't explore a fourth of it in a thousand lifetimes. A lot of kids my age don't care about space exploration anymore, that's why I became interested in the first place. My favorite thing about astronomy is that we can actually learn a lot about our own world by learning about other worlds.

My career benefits society because people all over the world can learn about the universe and other worlds. Although they may never get to see the things I tell them about, at least they'll know more about the stars and planets and other galaxies.
