I've been carrying the signature containing the advice that I'm TWP's official astronomer for quite some time now. Thought I should do something about it. Anyway I've created this thread for discussions of astronomical topics, astronautics as well. I'll attempt to answer any questions put to me, keep order and generally jump on anyone who mentions UFOs (more on that later). I'm not a professional astronomer, just an amateur who has been studying this subject and doing it for close to 50 years. My main interest is the Sun, the aurora and variable stars, though I'm relatively knowledgeable about most aspects of the subject. Couple of guidelines. Confusing astronomy with astrology will earn you a large raspberry. Posting stuff about UFOs, crop circles, faces on Mars, the imminent arrival of Planet X and other crackpot things will earn you heaps of derisive laughter, though I will be happy to explain to you why these things are crackpot. Let's see how this goes. Have fun. BBD
