What’s it like to study the universe as an undergrad? 🪐

At UC Santa Cruz, students in the Astronomy & Astrophysics program don’t just sit in lecture halls—they get hands-on with real research, coding, telescopes, and even lasers. 🔭💻

In this video, Klaus Stephenson, an astrophysics major, and Professor Andy Skimmer talk about everything from searching for exoplanets to late-night data collection at Lick Observatory.

You’ll hear about:
🔸 Internships and research projects (yes, even with lasers)
🔸 Coding, theory, and observational astronomy
🔸 Field trips to giant telescopes
🔸 Scholarships and funding for student research
🔸 What it’s like to be part of an R1 research university

Whether you're into black holes, supernovae, or just wondering what's out there, UCSC’s got the tools—and the sky—for you to explore. 🌌
