can you give me any information about entrance into astronomy by bi.p.c students?

Usually You can get into a Graduate program (Masters degree) in Astronomy if you have a bachellors in Physics. Your BiPC background should definitely enable you to enter a good program...of course, getting into top universities depends on your GPA and overall performance

Because it is cool! I want to be astronomer too :) Picture yourself examining a blackhole or a comet or a double star! Or just watching the stars with huge telescope! Or analyse radio noise and try to figure out a pattern in it and discover that there was a star that is no more somewhere. Man, it is cool! :)

Get a degree in physics or engineering.  Get a good job.\nBuy a telescope (and maybe a camera) and do it as a hobby.\n\nThere are very few 'good jobs' in astronomy.  However- if you are extremely bright and love math- forget what I said and go for it.

Well, there are of course astrophysics textbooks which you could study on your own.  I should warn you, however, that astrophysics assumes a couple years of astronomy, at least three semesters of college physics, and not less than two years of calculus (through integral).  And a year of chemistry would not hurt.

Look at the website   http://www.heavens-above.com/  \n\nPlug in your location info (bookmark it) and you'll get all the local astronomical information you need.

Yes you would be selective.  I would ask a question about Astro-physics to an MD.  It wouldn't make sense.\nI Cr 13;8a\n11-13-6

Yes, many colleges have majors in astronomy.  However, the vast majority of the research being done in astronomy (and pretty much all the work being done in astronomy) is done by Ph.D.'s, so if you really want to be an astronomer, be prepared to put in about 10 years worth of work for that degree.  You'll need to major in physics, with a double major or minor equivalent in math and astronomy to get into a good graduate school.  In grad school, you'll most likely be required to take several years of upper-level physics courses, as well as astronomy course.  If you do decide to go for it, get involved in research early - as in your first summer after your first year of college - to make sure that this is really what you're interested in.\n\nYou can get a job in astronomy teaching at colleges and universities, doing research at a university, or working at a national lab (Livermore, NSO, NRAO, Harvard CfA, etc).  There aren't a lot of industry jobs in astronomy unless you want to get into building instruments.

use the CD the ecfmg sends you...and try  getting the NMS questions.....they are pretty good....

There is an awful lot of info. You are talking about a field to which tens of thousands of people have each dedicated a lifetime of study!  If you are studying for a test, you need to focus on the contents of that particular test.  \n\nA nice site I like that has cursory information on many thing astronomical and space related written for the lay person is the Astronomy Picture of the Day.\n\nhttp://apod.gsfc.nasa.gov\n\nThe archives go back to 1994, with few repeats.
