Astronomy
This is arguably the most
exciting time ever for astronomy and space exploration. We have two rovers crawling along the surface
of Mars, probes encountering comets and asteroids, Cassini
approaching Saturn, Huygens about to plunge into Titan, questions about the
possibility of life on Europa, an impending probe to
Mercury a family of orbiting telescopes, and observations from the birth of the
universe that challenge our understanding of the fundamental laws of physics.
How could you not have an
interest in astronomy?
