NASA's Michelle Thaller explains that these terms are used interchangeably: both are physicists who study objects and phenomena in the sky. How can you become an astronomer? There is a defined path to take: Do an undergrad degree in astrophysics, physics, mathematics or computer science, then complete a doctorate in astrophysics. You could also work with astronomers by studying engineering and building telescopes. In this fascinating explanation of what an astronomer's day-to-day job actually looks like, Thaller shines a light on the unexpected skills you might need and answers the question on every ambitious astronomer-to-be's mind: How will I know what to discover? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MICHELLE THALLER Dr. Michelle Thaller is an astronomer who studies binary stars and the life cycles of stars. She is Assistant Director of Science Communication at NASA. She went to college at Harvard University, completed a post-doctoral research fellowship at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, Calif. then started working for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's (JPL) Spitzer Space Telescope. After a hugely successful mission, she moved on to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), in the Washington D.C. area. In her off-hours often puts on about 30lbs of Elizabethan garb and performs intricate Renaissance dances. For more information, visit NASA. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRANSCRIPT: MICHELLE THALLER: There are a lot of people that are fascinated by astronomy, and they think, hey, you can actually get a job where it's your life to make new discoveries, to actually work with larger NASA missions. So how do you get this gig? How do you become an astronomer? For some strange reason, I always wanted to be an astronomer, ever since I was a very small child. I think for a while I wanted to be an astronaut, and then I actually realized I was afraid of flying and I did not want to be an astronaut. But I loved space, and I could just never get the questions out of my head. I was told many times I didn't have the right personality to be a scientist. That really didn't matter at all. That turned out not to be true. But here are some of the things that kind of need to happen. So if you want to become a professional research astronomer, one of the things you will have to have is a doctorate in astronomy. Now, there are a lot of other ways to be involved in astronomy. I work with a lot of people who are engineers who help us build the telescopes or the instruments that we use. They, for the most part, do not have PhDs. They may have an undergraduate degree in engineering. Some of them have master's degrees. But usually, they actually start working in a more practical way, building the instruments, doing some testing. They start that fairly early in their careers. But to be an astronomer, you do have to get a doctorate. So there is a fairly well-defined path for that. So you go through high school, and after high school, you can apply to any number of colleges that have degree programs in either physics, or mathematics, or computer science. Or, in some cases, they'll actually have full degree programs in astronomy or astrophysics. And these days, those two words, astronomy and astrophysics, are used fairly interchangeably in a professional setting. So if you're majoring in astronomy, you're basically a physicist majoring in things that are in the sky. So astrophysicist, astronomer, pretty much the same thing. So what I did is, I actually did go to a university—I went to Harvard University—that had a major in astrophysics as an undergrad. And so we took pretty much all of the physics requirements for a physics degree, all the math that's involved in that, too, but then there were specialized classes in topics in astronomy. We'd read papers about the Big Bang. We'd get together and we'D go to observatories to learn how telescopes work. And there were classes in things like how does a star work, how does a supernova explosion work, what is a galaxy like? And these really are physics classes. They involve a lot of math, usually calculus—figuring out how a galaxy evolves over time, how all the different stars work, how gravity affects everything. So there certainly is a good deal of math and physics involved. But then, as you become a professional astronomer, while you certainly know the basics of that and...

Meet Operation Space, a team of college students from different schools around the country who are working together to launch a rocket into space. They spent an entire year designing a rocket, working remotely over Slack and Google Hangouts, engineering and building all the parts on their own. Earlier this year, the Operation Space team finally met-up in real life at Spaceport America, located in a distant town named Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, to build and launch their two-stage rocket into space. Besides getting the rocket to actually launch, Operation Space has a goal of crossing the Karman line, generally accepted as the boundary between Earth’s atmosphere and outer space. VICE met up with Operation Space to learn about how a bunch of college students built a rocket with no faculty advisors, official funding, or any actual rocket scientists.

Every adventure has to have a wonderful beginning, and SSP18 isn't an exception! From Astronaut Panel to Improv, and from amazing visits to cultural nights, the first two weeks provided some incredible experiences to the participants. Here's a quick recap of it!

Australia’s space industry is worth $3-4 billion annually and employs 11,500 full-time workers. Here in South Australia, there are over 60 organisations with space-related expertise, or the potential to apply current expertise to the space value chain. Our state recently showcased these capabilities to a global audience at the International Astronautical Congress which was held in Adelaide. Be inspired by JOBEX panelists as they explain how the space sector can deliver opportunities for manufacturers to transition to a high technology, high growth sector. The jobs of the future can be found in this ever-growing sector and South Australians will play a huge part.

Maggie Lieu is an ESAC research fellow working on Euclid, a visible and near-infrared space telescope due to launch in 2021. By measuring the shapes of distant galaxies we can determine the mass of the largest systems in the Universe, galaxy clusters. Euclid will achieve unprecedented shape measurements of galaxies covering almost half of the extragalactic sky.Maggie is developing statistical methods to deal with this upcoming big, noisy dataset, so that we can better understand the physics of galaxy clusters and their role in the Dark Universe.

For those looking into space related majors, your best options are astronomy and astrophysics. However, as an undergrad you will usually just start as a physics major then pick a more specific discipline in grad school. You also will need to get a PhD if you want to do work in astrophysics or astronomy. There really aren't jobs in these fields for those with just bachelor's degrees. Although the field is very competitive, if you have a true interest for the subject, most people will tell you to pursue it. Even if you don't land a job that you want, astrophysicists and astronomers can find work in other fields such as finance, engineering, software development, teaching, and more.

The aerospace engineering major can be broken up into two main branches, aeronautics and astronautics. This video will focus on astronautics which is the design of things that will go into space. Aerospace engineering students will all take the same classes in the beginning of college, then branch off into their respective concentration probably in their third year. Students in aerospace engineering will learn about many subsystems and components of a spacecraft including propulsion, guidance and navigation, thermal, attitude determination and control, and more. Undergrad will give you knowledge in all these topics but you will not be an expert in one. If you want to go into design work you may want to pursue a master's degree or you need to work your way up at your job. For those who are debating between aerospace engineering and mechanical engineering then be aware mechanical engineers have much more job opportunity. Mechanical engineers can work on spacecrafts but can also apply their knowledge to lots of other sectors, whereas aerospace engineers would focus solely on spacecrafts.
