Link to a good article about space...

Hi all

I was a bit confused about the order of magnitude (and what exactly are) galaxies, stars, planets, solar systems... Does anyone have a link to a good article about this? Doesn't need to be in depth - just a clear explanation.

Just for personal interest. Also - I know, google. I looked. I couldn't find anything good.

I think what you're looking for is an astronomy textbook (or just a regular book I suppose). I doubt any article is going to tell you everything you want to know, though feel free to prove me wrong.

Ack.

I guess so. I don't really want an in depth knowledge, just an overview with definitions. I'm sure it's out there somewhere on the internets... :3

I'm actually studying to gain a degree in astrophysics. Truly fascinating.
