Hello, after recently graduating high school, I'm planning on going to college soon, and I got a couple of questions regarding Astronomy and Physics.
First, after recently getting interested in Astronomy, and always being interested in Physics, my question is how much is physics/mathematics involved in Astronomy? Not knowing that much of it, I figured one of you guys could give me a quick run-down on the fundamental of Astronomy.
Second, I read that if trying for a degree in Astronomy it's much better to already have a good knowledge of Physics to begin with, which leads me to ask, would it be better to just major in Physics and then minor in Astronomy?
Forgive me if I'm not making that much sense, just wanting to know this kind of basic stuff before I get into the wrong classes.
