Astronomy and space exploration.

Same thing here. Only hobby exposure, but the topic I could fill the most hours with.

Minerals and jewels perhaps, although it has been a while. Was a hobby by me as a child to collect them. Partially motivated by the belief they would be valuable (they were not).

Greek mythology was fascinating to me as a child, although I have forgotten most of it again. Still could maybe fill an hour.

Perhaps also painting and modeling, but this would only be very shallow knowledge. There is quite a bit of formal knowledge about typography for example that really helps you design a aesthetically pleasing layout, but I didn't get to it yet.

U-boat design and their sensors. Don't know why, but I always found them fascinating. Crazy to actually use them, but fascinating. A bit of an exception because I usually find military tech to be utterly boring.

Software too of course, although I think it is a difficult topic to present. Howtos for simple electronics and in general actors/sensors would be my choice.

Aikido could certainly fill another hour. Really liked it but sadly gave it up shortly after I finished my studies. Not a good topic for a purely theoretical treatise.

Basics of sailing and different types of rigging.

And fish. Also how to cook them.

What specific about it? Planet movements? NASA missions? Black holes?

I've been an astronomy and space enthusiast for over four decades and ended up interested in pretty much everything you mention, and more.
