Introduction

Howdy from Missouri. Nice web site--I look forward to learning something new about my favorite hobby---space/astronomy. I'm out in the country but the city is slowly encroaching on my dark sky viewing--the lights are really messing me up. But I am moving soon to a location north of here--out in the real boonies and am looking forward to dark skies once again. I have a small telescope and get out whenever I can. I love to memorize constellations and keep posted on exciting things to see. I welcome any comments to my posts and am glad to see so many other space enthusiasts.

Hi Lorilynn, I'm new here too.

I love astronomy events. I'm waiting for sunspot 720 to rotate back around the Sun to our side and give us another big flare. Did you catch the last big aurora a few months ago from your location?

I found the latest comet the other day. I'm waiting for another big one to give us that across the sky tail.

And I took my son down to the southern states several years in a row to see the Leonid meteor storms. We were not disappointed.

Look forward to posting with you.

Welcome Lorilynn,

In between posting about astronomy and scientific matters, do drop into Pete's Place for some entertainment.

The Crushed Velvet Lounge has everything.
