I can you can first start from this `Astrophysics for People in a hurry by Neil deGrasse Tyson` or Cosmos by Carl Sagan's series. Both will be a good starter for you

Thanks. Is there a chain of intervened Math and Physics courses? I graduated as a Math major but forgot most of the stuffs. I guess I can peek at MIT or any other open course.

What about laboratories?
