Imagine a career in which you get to witness the birth of the universe, or the death of a star! Hundreds of Canadians are exploring the frontiers of astronomy, and sharing their enthusiasm and results with students and the public. Astronomy is the study of the entire universe beyond the earth, from the Sun and its family of planets, satellites, asteroids, and comets, to the hundreds of billions of other stars that make up our galaxy, to the hundreds of billions of other galaxies in the universe. Astronomers study the origin and evolution of the atoms and molecules of which the universe (and we) are made, and of the planets, stars, galaxies, universe, and perhaps even of life itself. In the universe, scientists can study how matter behaves in environments never experienced on earth, from ultradense neutron stars to the near-vacuum of intergalactic space, so astronomy attracts the interest of people in all branches of science.
