Question
I had just given my tenth boards in india.I want to ask that which subjects should I go for to pursue my career in this field.What can I do else to pursue my career in astronomy. CAN YOU SUGGEST ANY COLLEGES IN INDIA OR ABROAD DEALING WITH NASA.
Anumeet
For astronomy, you should study as much physics and math and chemistry as possible. Optics, electronics, and computer technology would be especially useful.
I am not sure what you mean by dealing with NASA. Many universities in the U.S. have collaborative programs or research programs with NASA such as Stanford, Cal Tech, MIT, and many many more. Many NASA personnel study at local universities. Check the NASA websites for specific programs.
