What made you give up the pursuit of astrophysics?
My plan was math+astrophysics, and while that lasted, I would tell people I was going to be carpenter upon graduation.
I didn't know why I was doing it exactly. Then my girlfriend broke up with me and I stopped going to school and became a grocery clerk before going back to school four years later (for premed lol).
You may dig some of those Hopewell books in my original post here. They are a serious math and astronomy mystery rabbit hole.

You would have been west coast when doing this? Whats that scene like there?
California. I was never in a scene. Musicians are lucky in that their art is more social than most.
Also my stint was short. I only did ~4 significant tags: two water towers, one billboard, the exterior of an abandoned warehouse. Oil painting didn't last more than a year. I only produced three complete paintings.
