Do you like Astronomy?

ALKSDJF;LKSJDLA

I love that stuff! I'm actually planning to go to college for physics, but my introduction to the sciences was definitely astronomy, which I would read about constantly in middle school. At this point I'm reading more physics books than non-fiction.
Have you ever heard of Carl Sagan? There were some parts in his Cosmos series that I literally cried over. The way he explains everything is so ridiculously moving. I'm pretty sure he covers the WOW! signal and a bunch of speculation about life on other planets too.

And have you ever heard of Richard Feynman? I have a book of his on Quantum Electrodynamics that's actually really cool, but I'm having some trouble with parts of it because I only read it when I'm exhausted and half of it doesn't make sense (haha) at that point.

 

I love astronomy. I sadly didn't pick Physics at A level because biology and chemistry will help me get the career I want, but I wish I could have learnt more about astronomy in education.

 

I have a passing interest in Radio Astronomy..It's just a fun way of using some of the kit I already have in a way that involves more than just chatting.

 

I don't know too much about this subject, but pictures I've seen are so beautiful as the universe is captured at various points in time.

 

I love Astronomy....but sadly know very little on the subject. I know a few of the major constellations but that's about it. I've always been fascinated in Planetariums. I also love to sit outside at night and stare at the sky for hours.

 

I like astronomy, or more precisely, cosmology and astrophysics. The study of the night sky itself is a little limited. Gonna do a degree in them if I ever get round to it.

 

yes! so much love! i'm more versed in astrology than astronomy, but i'm definitely interested. i get emails from SpaceWeather.com -- News and information about meteor showers, solar flares, auroras, and near-Earth asteroids, hoping to be informed of cool sky stuff that i can see and i think this is just about the coolest thing ever: Giant body of water found in space, black hole claims it was just hydrating

 

I have a 4 inch refractor telescope and it's pretty good for just going out on a whim! Easy to set up with good resolution!. It's a Bresser Skylux, btw.

 

I'm an Aries! lol jk I love to sit out and watch the stars and try to name as many constellations as I can remember. Huge reason why I miss living in the country. You can see every star it's amazing.

 

I've never been terribly interested in astronomy, actually. Most of what I've seen is mapping out constellations and other celestial bodies, determining distances, makeup of stars, etc. It's very esoteric information that does not go much farther than measurements in most cases.

Cosmology, however, is different. It's still space science, but it goes a lot deeper. It's a lot more about the physics and origin of the universe as a whole, and why things are how they are. It deals with gravity waves, singularities, dark matter, filaments and voids, all just mind-blowing stuff. It's also important to me personally as of late, because I often find myself lost in astrophysics websites trying to find out a good way to write space travel sci-fi. It's easy to lose faith in humanity in day-to-day life, but take a single look at what scientists are thinking about and it makes you go, "holy hot damn, these peoples' brains must be magic."

 

Obsessed with learning about it since the 5th grade.
I know a fair bit from what I've studied, but I have only seen a sky full of stars maybe twice in my entire life because I've only ever lived in huge cities. For that reason, I've always found cosmology a bit more interesting.

 

I love astronomy! Everything about what's outside our Earth I find absolutely fascinating. I don't know much about it and never properly studied it before, but I still find it extremely interesting and often ask my dad questions about the universe. My parents even got me a telescope last month for Christmas and I've been obsessed with using it.

 

Oh, yes. I find that the vastness of space, the possible existence of multiple or even infinite universes, the beauty and sheer size of astronomical objects, the probable existence of habitable and life-harboring planets, and the human endeavors of space exploration and space colonization to be incredibly romantic. I often find myself looking up at the sky, wondering if there's any life out there and imagining beautiful spaceships taking people to the great beyond. I'm toying with the idea of applying to Mars One to become a Mars colonist, actually.
