@NiTrOxImPaCt Follow your heart man. I know that sounds cliche but its the truth. Life can take you so many places but it should be a place you want to go. You'll be miserable otherwise.

@truemartian Thank you for the advice :D I hope I can get Binoculars asap. Oh and Happy Holidays :)

@SlyTashi Well I cannot think of a better place to start than knowing nothing about it. ;-) I do suggest learning your constellations as a starting point. Doing this will help you when you eventually get a telescope. You can get a free updated monthly sky chart from skymaps com. As for how long it takes to learn? You NEVER stop learning. :-) I hope this helps. Do keep in touch!

I have recently had a sudden interest in learning about astronomy and I know nothing about astronomy at this moment. Should I be starting out like this knowing nothing about the night sky and space? and another question is How long would it take me to know most of astronomy?

Since im only a freshmen, I have 2-3 years till I can take astronomy and I want to also get a head start. Any other suggestions like books and etc? Please Answer when you can. Please and Thank You. :)
