does anyone else have an Astronomy Special insterest?

[Ronald Zeeman]

No constellations are astrology, and have no business in a astronomy course let alone on an exam.

I'd like to get into it more; so far I just have a few Astronomy magazines, and painted (digitally) a space scene back in March.

There's a book at the bookstore here about different Nebulae I'd like to get if I go there again, but life's getting chaotic again, so it'll likely be put on hold for a while.

And soon, Orion, with its Nebula will be visible. A great view, even with binoculars. I love that towards the end of October the Andromeda galaxy is almost directly overhead here at 45 deg North.

I've Had two interests, over my life particle physics and astronomy most notably where they overlap.

Astronomers use constellations. I think it helps them locate certain stars more easily.

 

[Ronald Zeeman]

constellations were mainly used by sailors before satellites and G.P.S. the stars are individually numbered.

My special interest in astronomy is a sub section of my special interest in physics, the latest results from the James web telescope. is really interesting. Still cannot believe that I have 16000 views on my physics thread. so many others share my interest. In my private life I never speak about my interests So many kindred spirits here.
