I'm looking for a set of references and/or websites that could give me a basic course in "astrophysics for dummies". I find the topic fascinating, and am currently working on a sci fi novel and would like to do some serious research first.

I've noticed that the Dummies series of books publishes a book called "Astronomy for Dummies" but I'd like to make sure that this really isn't just "Stargazing for Dummies" or some really primitive treatise on the subject.

Yes there is a 13th Zodiac Sign, but its the only one not counted as an Astrological Sign. Does Ophiuchus (or Serperntarius) have a symbol like the other 12 Contellations?

The following link shows the symbols of the 12 Astrological Zodiac, all except the 13th. Does anybody know the symbol of Ophiuchus (Serpentarius) If there is any?

If the universe is infinite then everything must exist. Everything. Everything that everybody has ever thought of has to be out there somewhere. Every fantasy world. Every imaginary person. For example: if the universe is infinite then somewhere there is a world where Harry Potter exists, where dragons exist, even where gods exist.

If, as science suggests, the universe originated from a “big bang” how did any material elemental or otherwise escape the Swartzchild radius or event horizon of the original singularity?

ok im curios about this, on june 1st between 6 30 and 8 00 in the evening i took a few pictures of the rising full moon and what struck me as odd about the moon was that it was shining red at first and then diminished to orange but during this change the intensity of light increased such that it started looking a bit like the sun, although not nearly as bight , but bright enough to be confused as the sun. is it posiible for a harvest moon to appear in the start of june in the northern hemisphere?

If the sun and planets were formed from a nebula, How did nickel-iron asteroids form in that zero gravity environment? Why aren't ALL asteroids of uniform composition?
