A bachelor of science degree and an advanced degree to be considered an actual astronomer. A PhD. About ten years of school after HS.
Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer, created his temperature scale in 1742.
To become an astronomer, one typically needs to complete a bachelor’s degree in physics, astronomy, or a related field, which takes about four years. However, to advance in the field and conduct research, a graduate degree such as a master’s or Ph.D. in astronomy is usually required, which can take an additional 2-6 years.
The median salary of an astronomer is $97,320, but it depends on qualification. You're more likely to get a higher salary if you have a doctoral degree.
You aren't, technically speaking, required to attend college at all to become an astronomer. However, if you want to be hired as an astronomer and get paid as opposed to doing it as a hobby and buying all your own equipment, you should expect to minimally get a 4-year bachelor's degree in Astronomy or possibly Physics.
Anders Celcius, Swedish astronomer, Daniel Fahrenheit, European physicist (Dutch, Polish, German). Both scales invented in early 18th century.
An astronomer
He is a French astronomer who co-discovered the planet Neptune. His mathematical prediction of where the planet would be found was accurate within a degree.
I am an astronomer.
The number of vacancies in this field are obviously limited. Your first step would be to achieve a degree in astro-physics.
'Astronomer' in French is 'Astronome'
The primary credential for an astronomer is a degree in physics, mathematics or computer science. More and more, a strong background in computers is a requirement even for Math and Physics majors. Another good choice is Electrical Engineering. Technically speaking, none of these is actually required... if you're wealthy enough to buy your own equipment, you can be an astronomer without any degrees at all... but realistically, in order to get a job in the field you'd want at least a bachelor's degree in one of the above disciplines, or a closely related one (say, geology or chemistry).
