      I’ve been interested in Astronomy since I first looked through a telescope at all the stars, planets and galaxies in the night sky. I think that some of the pictures you can get of space are amongst the prettiest around!
      My biggest piece of advice would just be to learn about stuff that interest you! Start reading online about things that excite you & see where you get from there!
      Nowadays most of Astronomy is done using computers, so computing and programming would be very useful skills to start learning! There are many online courses you can take to get started.
