What are some fun astronomy/space related careers I could get into?
July 8th, 2010 | 
Author: I am trying to figure out some possible career paths with the things I am most interested in. I have always loved astronomy and everything about it so I was wondering if there are some good (and fun) jobs I could get into. Preferably ones that pay good!
How to improve my knowledge about astronomy?
I’m so interested in science, mostly in astronomy. I’m 13 years old and I don’t know how can I improve my knowledge about it.
Can you tell me a good way to memorize stuff and how can I know more about astronomy.
Where i can learn things apart from science in school.
What textbook on astronomy should I buy?
It’s for a competition relating to only variable stars and I know basically nothing about astronomy. I don’t need a book on how to observe them, just more on the information about them. It would also be helpful if it would contain information about the most famous ones.
Astronomy for Amateurs
lgno.me – lgno.me – During our open mic session at the last Gnomedex, my good friend Derek Miller came up on stage to show off some backyard Astronomy that his Dad has done. Derek reminds us all that you don’t have to work at NASA to get amazing photographs of things found in our solar system. All you need is passion for what you’re looking at, and a telescope! twitter.com – twitter.com
