The best thing you can do is make sure your maths is up to scratch. They’ll be plenty of time to study astronomy at uni – decent colleges tend to labour the key points in the lectures. However, if you find yourself struggling with the maths you’ll begin falling behind quite quickly.
Math and computer programming are the basis of all modern astronomy.
Math and science. computers are a bonus also
Technical report writing, good study habits, keep a sense of humor and an open mind.
Don’t worry too much about what’s going on right now in astronomy. You’ll be flooded with that all to soon. Get a good grasp of the basics and the rest will follow. Check out the school’s library for research journals in astronomy. That’ll show you what’s going on.
