paid about $105,410 a year.

     - Galileo Galilei
     - Nicoluas Copernicus
     - Ptoelmy
     - Isaac Newton
     - Albert Einstein]]> 2016-09-13 02:26:46 UTC https://padlet.com/340969/uz4lruia9p8l/wish/123327309 340969 https://padlet.com/340969/uz4lruia9p8l/wish/123329038      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.]]> 2016-09-13 02:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/340969/uz4lruia9p8l/wish/123329038 340969 https://padlet.com/340969/uz4lruia9p8l/wish/123661758 History of Astronomy:
