Mazhar Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Please give me some sites where I can study about space, galaxies, planets, etc. Study means a general description of every term, its explanation, what is it, how it works..and etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmoley2k Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 My lecturers would kill me for saying this, but Wikipedia.com is a good place to start. They have a good description of a lot of astronomical object and phenomena in quite a nice, brief, easy to read style without being too complex imo.

Mazhar Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 No, wikipedia is not a good place to START at all. I am a beginner, I am a commerce student and I know less about science. So If I read on wikipedia, I first have to read its different articles regarding the terms. for example I have studied well about The Moon on Internet, I first went to wikipedia for Moon but then I searched different sites and I got my info. So please suggest e other sites which explain in easy style for begginers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmoley2k Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 The only thing i can suggest is some kind of revision site for the equivalent of English A-level's to get a grasp of the basic physics behind astronomy, but I'm not entirely sure where would be a good start. This may be ok from a quick google I did: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/A-level_Physics Sorry I can't be more help at the moment. It's just that thejump from A-level Physics to degree level Astronomy and Astrophysics was a bit of a jump. I pretty much didn't do ANY astronomy before I started university, so everything I've learnt is from then onwards and isn't usually free. It is possible to learn about a lot of it online but it takes a LOT of reading around and getting to grips with the principles behind it all.
