Regarding your investigations in Astronomy we have collected a few links which will be useful to you. Check out a list of Astronomy films on KhanAcademy. Below is one of them:

NASA is another source with a lot of valuable information on the subject. At the Swedish Institute of Space Physics there are links in both Swedish and English that will take you further into the subject.
