Hi, im VERY interested in Astrophysics, Astronomy and science generally.
But right now im just looking at random videos on youtube, as ive been doing for almost a year, rarely i find a video that actually seems to have well made research supporting it, and it's kinda annoying to have to be critical to everything you hear, so i was hoping someone could suggest a good source where i can study astrophysics, astronomy or science generally, but preferable Astronomy or astrophysics.
i also would prefer videos since i find myself thinking of something els when i read, and then i cant remember what i've read cause my eyes had been going down the text, reading but i dont remember what i've read, trying to work on that though but prefr videos pls

I know you prefer videos but here's some lectures in just audio:
http://www.astrosociety.org/education/podcast/index.html
And Berkeley Webcast audio for a complete Intro to Astrophysics course:
http://webcast.berkeley.edu/course_details_new.php?seriesid=2010-B-6603&semesterid=2010-B
And an Intro to Basic Astronomy:
http://webcast.berkeley.edu/course_details.php?seriesid=1906978465
And this one has video of the class:
http://webcast.berkeley.edu/course_details.php?seriesid=1906978460
Some video links:

CalTech's Ask an Astronomer Videos:
http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/cosmic_classroom/ask_astronomer/video/
Space.com's video collection:

Discovery Science's videos:
http://science.discovery.com/videos/100-greatest-discoveries-astronomy/
Hope these help some. Also, look at some of the Open Courseware sites like Berkeley's webcast which feature actual college course material and sometimes audio and videos of class lectures.

This was my introductory lecture on astro, all the way back in first year, the first three pages are not as relevant, but the rest is good, should be at your sort of level, if you have not had much formal education in this area, if you take it slow, it will go slot in. The other advantage is it is so current, all the stuff in there is bang up to date.
