What motivated me.
I chose astronomy because it looked like a good idea and I wanted to find out more about how the universe came to what it is today. It appealed to me because i liked the thought of exploding stars and the formation of the planets. I got the idea from a T.V show that included in it pictures of red and blue stars. It also had footage of a star exploding and other pictures taken by the hubble telescope that I was interested in and found amazing.
