Galactic astronomers study our own Milky Way Galaxy, as well as the thousands of others that can be seen using telescopes and other sophisticated instruments. Buy a telescope and study the stars. You can often find inexpensive, used telescopes at garage sales. Visit a planetarium or take a tour of a local observatory.
Many observatories are open to the public on special nights for star-gazing.
