Hello from Barnsley

Hi, 

I have had an interest in Astronomy since a kid thanks to my Dad, and am about to start a degree in Astronomy part-time 🙂 

Looking forward to getting involved in the discussions..

If you don’t mind me asking, how do you go about starting a degree in Astronomy?

I ask, as I was one of those kids that could have done much better! The report card kept on saying. Certainly no world shaker but I realised much later in life that I had an enquiring mind and it’s never too late.

You can do astronomy and planetary science through the Open University

[Kimboman]

Welcome a great choice but you do understand that you will have to talk as quickly as our old dear friend Sir Patrick Moore

Hi there. I can vouch for this course (or at least the one from the '90s) ; I started on mathematics and computing courses but did Astronomy and Planetary Science for a bit of a change. Fantastic course which made me feel less than microscopic and ingnited an interest in astronomy that has never gone away.

A warm welcome to SGL I too would like to do a Astronomy course but my mathematics need a good brush up first.
