I found a cool website that helped me understand astronomy basics.
When I find it, I'll post it sweatdrop
In the mean time feel free to post your resources biggrin

Penden http://www.seasky.org/index.html Nice website resource. I find the best way to learn astronomy is to buy an adequately nice telescope and just go sky-hunting out in the open night (then slowly figure things out later). Nothing compares to the sensation of actually seeing the things for real in your eyepiece.

I'm sure that's a great experience, one that I can't participate it because I live too near a city.
However, I doubt that the stars would tell me how scientists think that they were born. xd I'd rather go looking with this knowledge, so that it means something to me.

True, but knowledge should go side by side with experience (so one doesn't become bored with endless textbooks and numbers, but can actually apply the info learned XD).

Arg, you're just making me want to move away from the city MORE!
To be fair there is a place I could probably go to use a museum's telescope. HMMM

Ironically, my astronomy hobby actually started and continued in Guangzhou and Beijing (the two big China cities!) where the sky is sometimes clear but mostly shrouded. I did have the chance to see Jupiter, Saturn, the Moon, Sunspots and all those good stuffs though.

East Coast, USA
We've had trouble seeing some phenomenon in the past, either because of trees or because of the backlight from the city.

This is related to theories based on astrological research:
I'm going to read this PDF, hopefully a bona fide research or literary review, peer-reviewed journal article, about mirror dark matter.
