Hi! Since my brother got his first teloscope, i've been obsessed with space. Now, as a Freshman in high school, i intend to expand my knowleledge. What are some good websites for this?[:)]

Well, you surely know what websites they are! Google or yahoo can do the good for you, I think!

By the way, what question are you refering to? The poll question or the websites q.?

Welcome to Physics Forums ignorant1!

There are many, many great websites from which to learn about astronomy.Sky and Telescope (http://skyandtelescope.com/news/) has a very readable news page; there are also several "Ask an Astronomer" sites, of varying quality; Lick Observatory's (http://www.ucolick.org/~mountain/AAA/) for example.

And there's Physics Forums too! :smile:

[Edit: I forget my favourite: Astronomy Picture of the Day (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap040317.html)]
