This week, Mike reflects on a question from a student about the purpose in science and astronomy. Astronomy has contributed to many of our modern innovations and technologies that we use every day. Its existence has helped in the stability and advancement of mankind and is one of the oldest natural sciences. Today, we see many students using their degrees not just for astronomy, but for many other amazing purposes.
Join us this week as Mike answers why we do science and shares successes in astronomy.
