    Got some super cool shots of the Aquarid Meteor shower, the Milky Way and Jupiter showed up to play. The weather was perfect, no wind and around +2c. At 3:30 Sunday morning it was very quite except for a lot of critter noises, there were, ducks, frog...

    So I was out trying to image another Sunset when out of the blue a fireball appeared. To give you some idea of how rare these fireballs are, a trained observer, such as moi, can expect to be treated to one, once every 200 observing hours, factor in t...

ChewMouse Said:

Clear, easy to follow, exciting...a valuable teaching tool and fun just to browse by one's own self. I am really impressed with this and would like to blog on it myself.

(I don't blogroll. If I love a site, I write an entry on it with links and my reasoning. Perhaps I should rethink that, but I feel that a blog that has been so carefully created deserves a full review.)

This is right up my alley, as I have a background with astronomy and physics. Great stuff!

Ever read Black Holes and Time Warps by Kip S. Thorne?

I would love to add you as a link. If you don't mind?

I've just read most of your blog and I have to say...aside from what I find to be wonderful humor, I have forgotten to say on my blog comments that I really like your blog just for all the cool info. you have. Its fantastic that someone such as yourself has this much passion for something and are able to articulate it to others who are perhaps less learned and make it interesting. good job!
