What is Astronomy to you?

Why do you like Astronomy? Why do you love spending hours behind your telescope (if you have one)? Perhaps a deep question, but an interesting one!

To me astronomy has nothing to do with telescopes. I don't have one, I do not need one. I prefer the theoretical work.
And since I have no carreer in the field, I love reading popular ((theoretical) astro) physics

To me, Astronomy is all about fast ratio telecopes, high speed film, SLr camera, Home made and home designed tracking mount, a clear sky, a big mac, fries and a shake.

To me its like a never ending quest to find, Space is like that, its so big you never know when your going to find something spectacular.

 

Its definitely the window of creation: be it God's or just nature.

 

My friends think I'm nuts freezing my ass off looking at stars till two in the morning but as for me I enjoy astronomy simply for what it is. As for what it is I will leave that undefined.

 

Thanks for ur question Xevious..To me Astronomy is all as is..Im interested in gettin pictures and analysing articles about astro sci and translating them to my lang [Turkish] and if My worst English allows me i gonna write better articles of my own..

 

I would have to say "It is a window to God's creation" for me, even though I am an atheist. What I mean is that, aside from the fascinating nature & jaw-dropping beauty of the universe, I feel like the only way we can truly understand how we came to be & the "secret of life" is by exploring the universe, both experimentally & theoretically. Not that I ever expect to find "purpose" for mankind -- of that I am sure there is none -- but nevertheless we can learn about our origin & fate.
