The easiest way to get into astronomy is to simply go outside and look at the stars. Even though it seems basic, there is a lot to learn. Considering that for most of human history, we didn’t have telescopes, people still learnt a lot, and you can also.
You can see our Moon go through its phases, and even be able to make calculations when the New Moon will be born or when there will be a full Moon. When planets will be in view, etc.
The second step you may decide to go on is that you may decide to buy a star atlas, and you may even look with binoculars. This increases your knowledge, and points of light now have more of a definition.
The best step – the third, is that you get to look with a telescope. You now can see the ears of Saturn – or more appropriately, you get to view the rings of Saturn. You can look at the Moon and see the craters in immense detail, and even see what seems to be like a snow effect on the Moon, when it is a full moon!
