Astronomy has been very good to me.
Contrary to what you may have heard, there’s money to be made in the sciences, particularly astronomy.
Consider for example:
The Clyde Tombaugh estate gets money every time someone says the word Pluto. Even Disney has to pay.
The Edwin Hubble estate gets royalties for every paper that mentions universal expansion.
Albert […]
People who’ve read this blog for a while, and especially those that have to live with me, have learned that I can be infuriatingly contrary.
If everyone is doing a thing, I feel compelled to do something else (writing a blog notwithstanding, of course).
So, while everyone is giving out Milky Ways, Skittles, Sprees and Kit Kat […]
Our Moon is very large compared to the moons of other planets in our solar system. The Moon is fully one-fourth the size of Earth, giving one of the largest Moon/Earth ratios in the solar system.
Other planets, Mars for example, have very tiny moons. Phobos and Deimos are essentially a couple of small […]
In a paper that came out earlier in the August Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, a group has suggested a really interesting source of dark energy.
For those who don’t know, most of our universe is made up of stuff that won’t have anything to do with us. Only 5% of the universe is […]

I love my Coronado PST Halpha telescope. I also love my new iOptron mount that guides it. Now I wish the Sun would cooperate and give me something a little more interesting to look at.

I’ve had my new mount for a little while now and I thought I’d pass on a few comments about what I think of it so far.
I’ve already described the condition of the box when I received it, and that it did not come with the AC adapter, but the iOptron guys sent it the […]
This post will be of particular interest to all of the werewolves out there because, let’s face it, the Moon makes their lives somewhat inconvenient. It must be very hard to have to always clear your calendar on that one day in the month the Moon is full. Blue Moons are particularly irritating, […]
I find it amazing that just 100 years ago, we had no idea that there were other galaxies besides our own.
Around the year 1900 our view of the universe was very simple: our Milky Way galaxy had around 100 billion stars in it, some planets and some fuzzy cloud-looking thingys in it and… well… […]
After ordering Sean Carroll’s Dark Matter course, I’ve become a real fan of The Teaching Company. This company produces quality courses that are definitely worth your time.
Buying them can put some strain on your wallet though. Fortunately however they periodically put the courses on sale, and these sales can really save you a […]
