Depending on what you deem to be science, looking at stars might be the oldest science that can be thought of – for milleniums human beings have been looking up to the sky and trying to make sense of it. Since then big accomplishments have revolutionized the science and at present we know very much about our universe. The rising speed of technological progress in the last decades and the computing power in the hand of the average joe have made astronomy accesible for everyone.

There is much knowledge now about different objects and phenomena in the universe (for example Black Dwarfs).

Imagine – it has become a lot easier to learn about astronomy for everybody. You don’t have to be a top expert scientest to have the possibility of watching the stars in close up images. There are a lot of very good software projects and relatively cheap beginners equipment that enable everyone to deepen the knowledge about our universe (e.g. Photlun lunar research. Many of tose resources are very affordable and quite a lot software products are even available for free.

But even if you are not interested in the science behind it, there is so much beauty in some of those pictures. The structures and colors seen on those pictures fascinate almost anyone who is confronted with them for the first time. Some of the best pictures can be found here: New Site for NASA Pictures

Discover the the miscellaneousness of astronomy, which is both – a science and a hobby. It can give you the joy of watching pictures almost like art or you can use it to train your brain with the math behind it.
