Astronomy on its own is a massive area of study, covering everything from the planets through solar systems and galaxies right out to the scales of the full Universe.

Taken alone however astronomy cannot provide the full picture of how our Universe fits together into the fascinating entity we see before us today, it is but one piece in the puzzle of understanding the cosmos (admittedly a rather large one!).

For quite a considerable time now some of the more informational posts on the blog have ventured into the more mathematical side of astrophysics, this will continue but we also hope to produce material on the aspects of particle physics and chemistry that help to underpin our working knowledge of the universe.

This new content will be produced at a level everyone one can follow and hopefully gain something from. It will also not take away from our regular astronomy news updates which will remain core to the blog.

We will also be announcing a new feature on the site within the next little while that we hope will make investigating a particular topic in astronomy much more accessible though it will take some time to get everything in order.

Stay tuned for more!
