Answer 1

astronomy is the best kind of science! it's not that hard. but you have to know about 3 different types of galaxies: irregular, elliptical, and spiral. of course we live in the milky way, so its a spiral galaxy. =) also know about meteors, meteorites, and meteoroids. they are NOT the same!! astronomy is interesting. you'll learn about:

constellations

moons

the 9 planets and their features

the big bang theory

telescopes

supernovas

nebulas

comets

asteroids

the sun

I dont know about you but i had ALOT of homework. sometimes, she gave us so much, i didnt bother even doin it =)

Answer 2

um sorry u don't pick your classes in middle school, not till high school unless the school placed you in that class

Answer 3

It's not that hard if you have a good memory, as you need to memorize the names of stars, formation of common constellations and where to find them and how to read star charts.  You also need to be good in math to calculate distances of stars and convert from light-years into other measurements.
