What topic should I pick for astronomy?

I have a paper due in astronomy next month on a topic of my choice it just has to relate to astronomy somehow. Any ideas on a topic that would give me a lot to write about?
 
Write about something fascinating, like the possibility that we have collided with other universes before, or that another universe's gravitational pull caused the big bang (rapid expansion of our universe). Or write about Quasars. Write about the possibility that the milky way may collide with andromeda. Or maybe write about Extraterrestrial planets and how we could possibly travel to them. There is so much you could do, just pick something that intrigues you. Best of luck!
 
It depends entirely on the level at which you are studying. At primary school level a simple profile of one or more planets (size, periods of orbit and rotation, bulk composition, atmosphere etc) may be all that you need. At degree level you may well need something altogether more advanced and probably more obscure - carbon stars as the source of heavier than iron elements or something like that.
 
first of all, the Moon DOES rotate, it rotates in sync with the Earth, called geosync-something, can't remember...but you can research this Earth-Moon relationship and how this sync came to be.
You can also write about the different types of stars-how they are born, chemical composition, etc.
You can also write about the various space missions to any of the planets...
 
You should give what educational level you are at.

However, I'll throw one out there for you. Explain why the moon stopped rotating. Call it: "There is no dark side of the moon".
