absolutely! most working astronomers have a Ph.D in astronomy, the best route towards this is not to get an undergrad degree in only astronomy as it is too limiting. combine astronomy with physics to get an astrophysics degree or go for astronomy and math with several core physics courses. courses in computer science, geology, and chemistry may also be appropriate.
