AI Thread Summary
To begin self-studying astrophysics, starting with Einstein's theory of relativity is recommended. Useful online resources include astronomyforbeginners.com and academic earth's introduction to astrophysics course. Additional references can be found on physics forums, specifically a thread dedicated to astrophysics resources. These materials are designed to be accessible for independent learners. Engaging with these resources can provide a solid foundation in astrophysics and astronomy.
