It sounds like it would be difficult to do at A level.
Physics has a similar unit to astronomy I believe, and would probably be a very important subject anyway if you wanted to go into astronomy as a career.

Guess I will have to just stick to watching documentaries on YouTube about Universe.

You learn very little about Astrophysics at A Level Physics I believe.

Yes. I mean maybe in a couple years it'll be an option, e.g. There is now accounting a level, law a level and criminology btec! You never know. But it won't happen for you. I'm sure further reading will help your personal statement if you apply to university :smile:
