      We study the Universe, it could be planets, stars, galaxies, black holes or the Universe itself. Some of us use telescopes to make observations, others use computer simulations. In general we use Physics and Maths to try to understand how the Universe works. In our day-to-day work we typically focus on an open question and try to find answers for it.
