Hi,
So I'm due to start my master's degree in September, with an Astrophysics research project. I have zero astro background, and want to keep my previous physics knowledge in case I don't enjoy astro as much as I thought I would. If I end up wanting to do a PhD in a different physics field, would having an Astronomy Master's degree (as opposed to a physics master's degree) hurt my chances of being accepted for a PhD in a Physics field other than astrophysics?
