Can You Learn Astrophysics Without a Formal Education?

[CosmicTroll]

Hi! I just found out about this website. I haven't been to college for any type of physics or anything like that, though I'm extremely interested in Astrophysics and that entire field of study. I most likely won't be commenting on many things, though I'll definitely be looking through and learning! And don't worry, my name doesn't mean that I'm a "forum troll" or anything like that. It's just a nickname given to me by a few friends.

Please take some time to read our rules (see link below) and remember that we are volunteers here who support students learning STEM subjects. Also we don't discuss personal theories or speculative science.

Nice to meet someone who is also extremely interested in Astrophysics!
