I have been attempting to learn more about astronomy for a long time, and this blog began in December 2006, and has developed as a way to keep track of and share all the cool things that I was finding about astronomy and space in my spare time, both online and elsewhere.
Recently I finished working on a senior project as a graduation requirement for high school. I observed asteroids and attempted to determine their orbits. More about my adventures in orbit determination are available at this page about my senior project.
Although I have been interested in space for a long time, I have only recently started observing the night sky. I got a pair of binoculars in late 2009, which are really wonderful in helping me see and enjoy, and even discover the things that I have only been reading about for years.
