Ask Your Astronomy Question
Ask the Astronomer gives you real answers from real astronomers.
Simply ask your astronomy question and a real astronomer will respond. Remember, when you could submit a science question on the Internet and get a good quick answer? Sometimes the astronomer would even send you a personal e-mail. Those days are back. No more waiting for your question to be selected and then posted. Every question is answered and you have the opportunity to decide whether you want a long answer or a short answer.
There are no age restrictions on the grade level of your question. We have fielded questions as simple as "Why is the Earth round?" or "Why do we have 4 seasons". We have also answered questions on the nature of time and space from the leading edge of discoveries in quantum physics.
