Since I've only been at this a few months and have a rare few nights of viewing under my belt I got to wondering.
Does getting into astronomy simply result in more unanswered questions then it actually answers.
Now keep in mind I know next to nothing on the vast subject that is astronomy and all that it entails.
So as curiosity does, it led to me to the internet to find all I could on the subject.
There is loads of video content on-line which delves into the subject at various levels and work as excellent learning matter BUT I just hate it when they use all these animations intertwined with real life footage.
It's so good in fact that often I really don't know the difference.
I really would prefer on occasion to just see what stuff really looks like even if it's just a ****ty grainy still picture.
The artists visual impressions are great for what they are but I don't care for them.
Give me the real deal or nothing.
Something else I get from these documentaries and such, is just how little we know and how much of this hobby/subject is still very much unknown or pure speculation with few scientific facts to be 100% sure.
Me? being curious by nature, I hate not knowing stuff.
So when I'm presented with false images or 'possible' facts it nearly drives me crazy
.
Then added to that, I now realize there is so much about this game that I will just NEVER know......put a bullet in me now
Still, all that said I do find peace just sitting under the stars looking up.
Even if I don't know their names, how far they are from me or what they look like up close
I guess this will have to do
