I have an amateur interest in astronomy that has mostly revolved around near Earth astronomical events, but I occasionally try to view the planets, moons, meteor "showers," eclipses, and any passing comets. As with the other science pages the main purposes for this page are to give those of you who are new to the science world a small taste of what's out there, and to give those who are already involved in science some other sites to find some cool products and data. The background photo was taken by me while in McMurdo Station, Antarctica of the Aurora Australis. Have fun!
