THE "BIG BANG" is theroy that does not have to include "smoke".  The idea is that life may have started with "contact."   This could have been as small as two atoms that touched.  \nYour question assumes to many factors as facts for a complete answer.

Not often enough. When I was homeless living in my car, I would study the constellations, try to remember the name of each star in Orion. I had a star chart. If it were not for thieves, I would live in a tent again, watch the possums and raccoons come out at night, feed and watch the birds by day, and stare into the stars at night. My dream home though would have a lighthouse top with windows all around and a telescope. Enjoy your time outdoors, and try to learn the names of as many stars as you can, for me. I don't know when or if I'll ever get the time to enjoy them like I once did again.

(1)\nA couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: "Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: "OK, now what?" \n(2)\nSherlock Holmes and Dr Watson go on a camping trip. After a good dinner and a bottle of wine, they retire for the night, and go to sleep. \nSome hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see." \n"I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes" replies Watson. \n"And what do you deduce from that?" \nWatson ponders for a minute. \n"Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful, and that we are a small and insignificant part of the universe. What does it tell you, Holmes?" \nHolmes is silent for a moment. "Watson, you idiot!" he says. "Someone has stolen our tent!" \n\n------------------------------

Brushing up on your physics would be a big help. Especially studying about Copernicus, Newton, and Kepler's laws of motion would help. If you are going full bore and might even learn how to calculate the orbits, mass, etc. of objects, Calculus is a must. If you plan on studying astronomy in a more practical manner, understanding the basic principals of photography would also help.\n\nWhen I took an astronomy course in college, one of the first things we learned was how to develop our own film...

Nice to see an Indian on here!! I'm an Indian too! Maharashtrian and mainly from Pune city. Yeah, you can get telescopes in India and the prices do vary dependent upon the power it has. An average telescope that can allow you to study the solar system in a glance is available at Rs. 7000. I saw one in an exhibiton, but sorry can't really specify where you can get it. Give me your mail id and if i find anyone selling it, I'll give you the whole details. why don't you make one?? that's a great idea, cause i have made one myself that is as cheap as Rs. 500!!

Dear .....\nI really liked the set of Encyclopedias you gave me for my birthday. It was very thoughtful of you. I was planning of buying a set myself as I need them for a school project. Thanks to the gift, i scored very good marks in my project and learned a lot of new and fascinating facts at the same time. They can be used by anyone at home for constant reference. I thank you once again for the gift you sent me.\n                                       Yours affectionately,\n                                         .................
