my asked me this and I have no clue what to even tell him to start with

"I have a 10 page paper due in 12 hours, and I haven't started. I need a little help figuring out a good topic. I am not too astronomy savy, so it is hard to choose a specific topic out of such a large subject. So, can anyone give some suggestions as to what to write about (pertaining to anything galaxy or star related)? Writing about any solar system is not an option. Thanks in advance."

I already told him he should have done this days ago.

Any constructive suggestions?

history of astronomers... it can be written own without being astronomy savy, but in explaining specific astronomers ideas and discovers it will show some level of knowledge of the subject.

although I wonder who you mean when you say "my asked me this"

doppler shift and uses?

newton vs galeio and who had a better telescope?

Galaxy collision would also be interesting... but I think a history type paper would be far easier to pull out of nowhere to create 10 pages in a short time than would a science question or teleoscope comparison.

^i agree with this one. Stellar evolution can definitly take up 10 pages and is actually a very interesting topic.
