Hi everybody!
I just took the astronomy DSST today and I feel great! That was pretty easy. Since there is no study section for this here, I'll give you the down low on what to study.
1. Important people and contributions
2. The sun: what's happening inside, dark spots
3. Moon: phases, tidal waves
4. Stars: evolution, types
5. Look briefly at types of telescopes
6. Radio waves
7. Comets, Astroids, Meteor: Where they come from, what are they, dirty snowball
An awesome tool, if you can pick it up from a library, is Cliffs Quick Review: Astronomy. Read the entire thing and then do some quizzes online to help.
