I would say magazines such as All About Space, The Sky At Night and various websites like Universe Today and Earth Sky.
Twitter is also a great tool to follow like minded people who are always there to share their interests and basic Asronomy and space knowledge. I have learnt a lot of information from the folk I follow on Twitter.

I haven't heard of All About Space before. Do you buy it James?

My other signature is much better than this one!

I posted a link to Moon Trumps in the Space thread, hope Dave's ok with that. But I agree with not having enough time to explore with so many interesting links provided. Moons was definitely one of my favourite MOOCs alongside Monica's Orion.

Thanks martin, Edinburgh Uni do a pretty interesting one called 'The Discovery of the Higgs Boson' which would probably interest you. It contains some lengthily lectures, but worth completing. Also there's interviews with Peter Higgs at the end of each week. Recommended! :)

It's a great magazine Martin. Loads of great bits of information.
I subscribe to it and get it monthly... ( Also I will be featured in issue 40 )
