Hi everybody!

My name is Zeke, I'm currently in my undergraduate studies and I'm hoping to major in astronomy! I''m currently taking physics, so I'm here to learn more about the subject and get any help along the road, which I'm sure I will.
I look forward to meeting new people on here and wish the best for everyone!

Zeke.

You will surely learn a lot here, like I have learned in my short stay of one year. Here are the places where you can learn:

1. The main forums, that you see in the first page.
2. Insights Blog, available at the top row (header section). In short, they have been described as a "wonder of the web". It contains articles that help in learning topics to a great extent.
3. The Videos, also available in the header section. The media gallery now has some great videos in almost every aspect in science, and they provide an audio-visual learning experience.

Enjoy your time here.

With regards,
Wrichik
