“Stars are beautiful, but they must not take an active part in anything, they must just look on forever."- J.M Barrie

Hey guys I'm back! I apologize for not uploading for the past couple of weeks! But I've been thinking lately about space like things... Anyways have you ever wondered whats beyond our planet? Like does E.T and other aliens really exist?  I don't really know what happens and I don't really understand all this stars and astronomic observations. I've always been fond of Astrology and I catch myself staring at the night sky. Stars and planets are just so fascinating. One of my favorite quotes from one of the best books is "My thoughts are stars, I cannot fathom these constellations." It just sounds so deep and interesting. I found out recently that comparing our own Sun to others stars makes our huge sun just a dwarf star. It's insane how another star could be possibly thousands times the mass of ours. There are things called Nebula's and not a lot of people understand the definition. It's actually a huge gas cloud filled with many luminous stars. Stars has this sort of process called Nuclear fusion in which their temperature could reach to about 18 million degrees Fahrenheit. As I've delved deeper into what it takes to become an astronomer I've found many facts about their careers. For instance an astronomer  makes around $100,00 for an average salary. What they do is to search and analyze celestial phenomena.

They are required to have a PHD in physics and/or astronomy and have to go to grad school for about four to eight years. If you are interested in become an astronomer like I am I encourage you to go out and do some research! I've done mine and I can say with 100% confidence that this is something that could be a future occupation for me. So I guess the only fitting end to this post is "TOO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!!!" (from my favorite Disney movie).
