Has anyone here every studied astronomy? I just started reading a book about it the other day and it is fascinating! I read briefly about the planets and how each rotates and revolves differently and about their orbits around the sun. And then there's all that history about people studying the sky and believing that we are the centre of the universe and everything revolves around us. The invention of the telescope comes next and how scientists a few decades ago developed really powerful telescopes that can see different types of light and even detect radio waves! I read today this section that talked about extraterrestrial life. The author of the book had come up with some really strange creatures that could live on planets like Pluto, Jupiter and Mars.
Everything I read is so interesting, astronomy has quickly become my favorite subject. It's really neat to read about all this stuff then look up at the sky at night and see it. I can't wait to learn more!
