Depending on what you deem to be a real science, looking at stars might be the oldest science that is known – for milleniums people have been looking up to the sky and trying to figure out what is behind it. In newer times great achievements have revolutionized the science and at present we know very much about our universe. the overwhelming fast achievements in techonology in modern times and the computing power in the hand of the average joe have brought the science into our homes.

Today we know much about the universe and space and it’s objects (for example neutron stars and pulsars).

But not only that – it has become a lot easier to learn about astronomy for everybody. You don’t need to be a scientist yourself to have the possibility of watching the stars in close up images. 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. Stellarium – an open source planetarium. 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 structures and colors 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: Astronomy Calendar 2010

Experience the the variety of astronomy, which is both – a science and a hobby. It can give you the joy of watching pictures almost like art or you can use it to train your brain with the math behind it.
