Astrophysics wasn't an easy option but nobody told me that at the time. At first there were two of us on the course; after a couple of years there was just me! In the end I specialized in nucleosynthesis in massive stars (about 20 solar masses). This involves the fusion of ionized light atoms into heavier ones and takes place at very high temperatures and pressures.
