Question about subjects:

When you search the available Openstudy subjects, some aren't existent. For example, I'm a big Astronomy fan, but there isn't an astronomy section. Is there a specific reason? I'm not sure how certain subjects get on here like "MIT Computer Science" for example. Is it something the mods/ambassadors approve? Is it a vote?

The problem is that it wouldn't be very active so we did not add it. If a lot of users ask for it, we might considering adding it.

@TheSmartOne - What explains the MIT subjects?

OpenStudy had collaborated with MIT back in the days for MIT's online subjects that they offered to everyone.

Hi there! There is actually a NEW astronomy topic, but only for users with the OS enhancement extension, created by one of our very own users. You can download it here http://ultrilliam.com/google-store/ Just reload the page once you get it and then astronomy will be under the topics! Thank you and have a great day!
