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...more
