      @Vicky.K. Wow, what a great question! I have to say that the person who inspired me the most to studying astrophysics and astronomy at university, and ultimately for my career, was my physics teacher at school. I didn’t know any scientists, and I think I thought it was going to be too hard…but it turned out to be ok (it was hard but not terrible) and most of all I found it really exciting!
