    This is a big question, can you ask a little more detail?

    When I was in high school, I was the president of the Astronomy Club, and my advice for studying astronomy was to make it a major hobby, not a secondary subject. At this stage of high school education, I have not learned which province regards it as a compulsory subject, because the status of astronomy in Chinese society is far inferior to the application of mathematics and physics.

    An important purpose for high school students to learn astronomy is to satisfy their hobby, but the premise is that it must not affect their main subject learning.

    Astronomy can be deep or shallow, from celestial phenomena and constellations to unified fields and relativity (not to mention just physics). For the average astronomy enthusiast, the main thing to know is some knowledge related to astronomical observation, because it can bring them practical gains. First of all, pay attention to the most common phenomena around you, such as changes in the position of the Moon, certain bright stars in the fixed star region in summer, etc., and then try to look up the information to know why.

    After that, you can take the time to read some basic astronomy courses, such as "Astronomy Amateur's Guide", "Basic Astronomy", to have a basic understanding of astronomy. If the school club engages in some activities such as the Messier Marathon, sunspot projection observation, meteor shower observation, etc., you can actively participate in it if you can, you can learn a lot from it, and it is conducive to stimulating your enthusiasm for astronomy. For children who want to participate in astronomy competitions, the foundation of mathematics and physics is indispensable, and they are very closely related to astronomy as much as possible to participate in the school's mathematics competition class or physics competition class.

    Usually pay attention to the leap in thinking of the previous competition topics and do more exercises. When reading a book, some highly theoretical parts should not be easily skipped, and you should try to understand them.

    Anyway, it's just a hobby, and you'll have plenty of time to delve into astronomy at university.

    Hope it helps!

    Of course, interest is the most important thing. Astronomy is a field that can be full of unknowns. For example, whether there is extraterrestrial life, how to travel at the speed of light, etc.

    Secondly, it should be necessary to have a certain amount of popular science knowledge as a foreshadowing. Astronomy as an interdisciplinary discipline involves a lot of physics, chemistry, geography, biology, and mathematics, but they are not always so complicated. So the more science knowledge you have, the easier it will definitely be to learn.

    It is recommended that you read publications such as Exploration, National Geographic, Astronomy Enthusiast and China National Astronomy. You can also look at Hawking's "A Brief History of Time", "The Universe in the Shell", etc., which are very helpful for establishing a concept of the universe.

    The second is perseverance. After all, science is science, and especially this kind of theory-oriented discipline, it is inevitable that you will encounter some boring and difficult theories. For example, some theories in radio astronomy are very cumbersome.

    Trust me, astronomy can be maddening) so you have to have perseverance, but it's a gradual process.

    Hope it helps.

    It's okay to study seriously, if you're interested in it, it's best, if you're not interested, you can't learn if you can, and waste time and energy, because interest is the best teacher.

    Interest is a good teacher, and if you don't have interest, I suggest you don't take this path, it's very hard.

    Personally, I know that it is interesting to watch some American astronomy documentaries such as "Walking Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman". There is also a software called "Stargazing", which is very interesting. I liked these things very much in my first year of junior high school, and of course I had a good grasp of all aspects of astronomy.

    Thanks for adopting!

    Look at books first, such as popular astronomy. Popular astronomy is a little difficult, and you don't need to look at a brief history of time or anything, it's useless.

If you want to learn mathematics well, you must first ensure the efficiency of listening to the class, and before the class, you must preview it in general, and you must go to class with questions that you don't understand, so that the efficiency of listening to the class will be twice the result with half the effort. The second is to review, to consolidate the mathematical knowledge received in one day, and then do homework (use it as practice) Don't just do that homework a day, it is not good to learn in three years of junior high school, and you must accept more new knowledge. There is also the understanding of mathematics, don't take it as a subject, take it as a challenge, and always have to overcome it, once you fall into the fun of learning mathematics, you will no longer worry about learning mathematics, you will continue to overcome new peaks, and never get tired of it. >>>More

Sketching is the foundation of all plastic arts, and if you want to learn sketching well, you must first master the three major aspects, the five tones, the relationship between light and dark, the change of virtual and real, and the spatial perspective, which are carried out throughout. Copy the master's sketch works first, think more about why he handles the picture this way when copying, use the knowledge you have mastered to understand the copying, don't be afraid to spend time, be sure to draw the shape accurately, after paving the big key, in the portrayal of the part, don't paint in place, paint to death, leave room for the next step, its process is from the part to the whole, and so on until the painting is finished. In my spare time, I prepare a sketch paper and stick it on the wall to practice the lines, the purpose of which is to exercise the control of the wrist. >>>More
