I am an astrophysicist.

I research stellar explosions across the universe.

But I have a flaw: I'm restless,and I get bored easily.

And although as an astrophysicist,I have the incredible opportunity to study the entire universe, the thought of doing only that,always that,makes me feel caged and limited.

What if my issues with keeping attention and getting bored were not a flaw,though?

What if I could turn them into an asset?

An astrophysicist cannot touch or interact with the things that she studies.

No way to explode a star in a lab to figure out why or how it blew up.

Just pictures and movies of the sky.

Everything we know about the universe,from the big bang that originated space and time, to the formation and evolution of stars and galaxies,to the structure of our own solar system, we figured out studying images of the sky.
