    Open questions in theoretical astrophysics including:
    How do stars explode to produce supernovae? (I think there is an actual chance to finally answer this soon due to accumulating data and new ideas!)
    The three body problem (surprisingly connected to supernovae)
    Where do Cosmic Rays come from and how are they accelerated?
