For me, it was Comet Hale-Bopp and staying up late to watch the northern lights when I was 3 years old living in Canada, which planted that initial seed of interest. Only remained just an area of interest until Comet McNaught back in 2007 and got my first scope, a small Saxon newtonian, soon after.
Ever since, it's been my ambition to pursue a career in astrophysics.
