If these questions fascinate you, perhaps you should consider majoring in astronomy. Some areas of study in astronomy include the sun, the solar system, the stars, the Milky Way, the galaxies and cosmology. SDSU is the only institution in The California State University system which offers a complete academic program in astronomy.
Students actively participate in all phases of observational astronomical research.
Joint faculty and student research activities are principally in the area of observational astrophysics. These include ongoing investigations of star formation, eclipsing binary stars, low mass stars, planetary nebulae, galactic clusters, and galaxies. The Program Students who become astronomy majors at SDSU will begin their studies with preparatory coursework in physics and in astronomy. The upper division curriculum requires 36 units, among them courses in astronomy and physics. Required astronomy courses for the major include classes in advanced astronomy and astrophysics.
