Depending on what you deem to be a real science, looking at stars might be the oldest science on earth – since ages people have been looking up to the sky and trying to make sense of it. Since those beginnings great achievements have changed entire views of the world and today we know very much about the physical correlations. The fast development of new technology in the last century and the possibilities of modern personal computers have made astronomy accesible for everyone.
Today we know a lot about different objects and phenomena in the universe (for example Black holes).
But that is not all – it has become a lot easier to get to know the science of astronomy for everyone. You don’t need to be a scientist yourself to see into the universe. There are a lot of very good software projects and relatively cheap beginners telescopes 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 colorful structures and objects seen on those pictures fascinate almost anyone who has the chance to take a look at them. Some of the best photographs can be found here: Pictures of earth from space
Discover the the miscellaneousness of astronomy, which is both – hobby and science. It can give you the joy of watching pictures almost like art or it can give your brain the task to apply math with all tricks the science supplies.
