I don't think words can really express my love and fascination for astronomy which I'm sure is the case for many people as well. However, I am seriously considering majoring in astronomy and physics. But how practical is it?

You may end up discovering a near-Earth object that's due to collide with our planet so far in advance it gives us time to prepare and deflect or destroy the celestial entity with nuclear weapons.

Who knows? You could make the 'world of difference'. Literally.
