    When I first read it in junior high school, I started with the cartoons I taught children, and I also collected my own information everywhere (which would be very interesting), and then I bought a copy of "A New Introduction to Astronomy", which is an optional astronomy textbook in college, which is not bad, and teaches a lot of knowledge in theory. As for the textbooks for astronomy majors in college, don't read them for the time being, it's too complicated.

    At first, I found some basic knowledge and some data from the Internet as a basic use, and I didn't need to buy books, and it was a waste to buy books. And there are still not as many books or anything as on the Internet.

    Also, the "Starry Sky Observation Guide" is recommended for stargazing, which is very detailed and practical.

    Of course, you can buy books like Hawking's A Brief History of Time for a change of taste.

    If you want to learn, you will start with the solar system, and then look at the development of the Milky Way.

    Then you just find an astronomical ** take a good look, slowly a constellation to recognize, for a long time, you can recognize many constellations, first identify the important constellations, such as the Big Dipper, (commonly known as the spoon star) It belongs to the astronomical constellation Ursa Major, and then look at the North Star, it is not too bright to belong to the third or fourth star, it is generally easy to see carefully, it is also like a spoon, also composed of seven stars, it points north in winter, east in spring, south in summer, and west in autumn, There is also what we call Cowherd and Vega, you can see in the summer sky, in the Milky Way two, one is Lyra, the other is Aquila, to give you an astronomical **, take a look at it slowly.

    I recommend a book to you---Popular Astronomy" written by a Frenchman.

    Of course, other popular science books can also be used. Personally, I think this is a great one.

    But I want to remind you to be patient and not give up, especially when you are just starting out.

    The answer is in the question: Look up at the night sky.

    I don't know, I'm sorry.

    Is it possible to have a telescope, if not, it's not interesting to have a book.

    You can start with physics, because some calculations for the operation of many celestial bodies, as well as ranging and ranging, all require physics knowledge.

    Astronomy is the study of the structure and development of celestial bodies and the universe. The content includes the structure, properties and motion of celestial bodies. Astronomy is an ancient science, and it has played an important role since the history of human civilization.

    I chose physical chemistry. After all, the stars see gravity, the physical energy, and the organic chemistry of the extraterrestrials, those are preliminarily determined first.

    "Stargazing at Night: A Practical Guide to Astronomical Observation" is written smoothly and naturally without losing its rigor, and the content is substantial, and it is not only an observation guide, but also has a lot of explanations of theoretical knowledge in simple terms. In short, it will satisfy your observation needs for a long time.

    The wonderful thing about this book is that everyone can find something they like from it. For example, I sometimes like to look for objects in interesting celestial surfaces, comparing my own visual effect with the one described in the book, which is a fun process.

    New Introduction to Astronomy", a classic textbook recognized in the astronomical circle for introductory theory, is a book that many students who are engaged in the Astronomy Olympiad are quite fond of.

    Grand View of Celestial Phenomena.

    Stars and Planets, my enlightenment book, doesn't seem to be very famous, there is not much theoretical knowledge, it is very concise, and there are nearly half of the star maps at the back.

    The highlight of Modern Astronomy is that it talks about some space probes and some knowledge of the universe.

    Popular Astronomy is divided into two volumes, and of course it is quite complete, written in the context of the sixties and seventies of the last century.

    Frontiers in Physical Astronomy" is the first book series, which is said to be a frontier, but it is actually quite an old book, and the highlight is that it talks about it from the perspective of the four major interactions.

    Popular Astronomy "Fruit Shell Ji Thirteen seems to have recommended.,I haven't read this either.,Recently I found out that the kindle store can be borrowed for free.。

    A brief history of recommended times.

    A Brief History of Time is a book on cosmology written by the great British physicist Stephen Hawking, which is a popular science model for popularizing advanced theoretical physics. The author's imagination is rich, his ideas are magnificent, and his language is beautiful, which makes people realize that beyond the world, the changes in the future are so magical and wonderful.

    It makes people reverie, such as traveling in the sky, and appreciating the many magical scenes of time and the universe on the spot.

    Since its first edition in 1988, A Brief History of Time has become a global milestone in scientific writing. Translated into 40 languages and sold more than 25 million copies, it became a spectacle in the history of international publishing. The book is a cutting-edge knowledge of the nature of the universe, and since then there have been extraordinary advances in the observation techniques of both the microscopic and macroscopic universes.

    "Night Sky" is a good book in the exploration book series, but it is now out of print. I was very lucky enough to buy two copies. In addition, "Stars and Planets" is also good.

    The book is also easy to understand and is still available online. These two books helped me a lot, and it can be said that they led me to the door of astronomy.
