Anyone besides me interested in Astronomy?

I've been following the Cassini/Huygens mission pretty closely lately, reviving a long-standing interest in Astronomy. For those of you interested, this is the best over-all Astronomy photograph site I've found: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html
They have a few of the Huygens Titan landing pictures already, but also lots of great photos of other things, including a recent view of the Earth. I've found this site great for helping me put things in perspective. :)
Yeah, I have a casual interest. Thanks for the site :)

I was interested in astronomy. Then I made the mistake of taking it as a university course. Not one of my better decisions, let me tell you.

Cool website thanks.. .
Astronomy.. I like looking at the stars, and pictures of space and planets and all.. But wouldn't say I totally dig Astronomy per se.
The Universe is so beatiful IMO.

Yeah true.. Once you suddenly open up to her, she'll choke all the air out of you. :D
Would this be a good time for a black hole joke? :D

I've been VERY interestid in astronomy since I was a little child. In fact, I have a few astronomy programs on my computers, and a link to one of them is in my sig--you get to create your own planets and stars in that one :D

Really? I think I had it at one stage, and it was only really an atlas (for lack of a better word).

I'm marginally interested in astronomy, but I can't be bothered to do all the maths. I find cosmology much more interesting (yes, I know the two are very closely related).
Another good idea for a first thread. "Cosmology and You: What You Need to Know about How the Universe Really Began"

You mean Celestia? There has been much progress with Celestia, so now you CAN create your own stars and planets.
yes

Just to clarify, I really am interested in cosmology. That wasn't just me dicking around like in the other threads.
