    Hello Monica,
    As you are pursuing UG in Physics. I woudl request you after completing graduation you can take up a Master's degree in Physics and Astronomy. Below is the list :
    -M.Sc. Astronomy
    -M.Sc. Astrophysics
    -M.Sc. Meteorology
    Thereafter, you can even opt for a specialization in astronomy i.e PhD which enables you to become an astronomer/ astronaut/ astrophysicist/ scientist or a research officer. Below is the list :
    -PhD Astronomy
    -PhD Astronomy and Astrophysics
    -PhD Astrophysics
    -PhD Atmospheric Science and Astrophysics
    For PhD, you need to appear for the Joint Entrance Screening Test (JEST) examination.
    Hope it helps. Please feel free to
