Can you help me have a general view on cosmology and astrophysics?

AI Thread Summary
A new department for high energy physics and cosmology has been established at a college, marking the first of its kind in the country. Students are seeking guidance on cosmology and astrophysics, expressing a lack of resources in their library, which only contains outdated astronomy books. Forum members suggest finding good introductory books and offer to share materials and links via private messages. There is a discussion about how to send private messages without sharing personal email addresses publicly. The conversation emphasizes the need for updated educational resources in cosmology at the college.

Our college has just established a new department: laboratory of high energy physics and cosmology. And it is the first in our country. We are first students,too. Can you help me have a general view on cosmology and astrophysics?
We only know little about some constellations and solar system.:frown:
Thank you very much.:smile:

try pick up a good introductory book from your library or book store, we are willing to guide which ones that are good if you tells us which one you can get a copy of.

Also I have some good material on my computer and some links, send me a private message and I give you my email.

Cheers
 
Thank you very much!

There isn't any book about cosmology in our college's library. It only has few books about general astronomy. But they are published some decades ago, and only introduces to some planets.

How can I send you a message? What's your email address? Mine is lava122@yahoo.com.

Thanks very much!

you can click "private messages" at the very up right corner, don't post you email here!

also you can click on my name to see my "public profile" then choose to send me a private message!

You should try to change that...
 
Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.

How does light maintain enough energy in the visible part of the spectrum for the naked eye to see in the night sky. Also, how did it start of in the visible frequency part of the spectrum. Was it, for example, photons being ejected at that frequency after high energy particle interaction. Or does the light become visible (spectrum) after hitting our atmosphere or space dust or something? EDIT: Actually I just thought. Maybe the EM starts off as very high energy (outside the visible...
