h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

My name is Richard Derek Young. "My interests are most aspects of Astronomy and thorectical things."

I can provide definitions for most things. I'm not quite sure what you want but just let me know what sort of things you'd like from me.

Me too.
I enjoyed taking part in the Perseids Project

Name : Annie Ogle aka Galaxy Babe

Interested in anything astronomical, possessor of large binoculars.
Light-pollution opposor, dark-sky viewing fan.
Check out the Butterfly nebula on my homepage {although I think it should be called the Christmas Cracker myself}...

Oh super. My modem has broken so I've only just found your requests. Thank you so much, I'll ad you up straight away.

Richard, you could host a Q and A session sometime on something theoretical,

Annie, do you want to do a bit on binoculars?

Cheers,
Nick

I know absolutely nothing about binoculars, sorry, Nick. Except maybe which end to look through. I am much more interested in helping set up the Q & A session....{or quiz, whatever you had in mind!}

I'd like to join too! I'm an amature astronomer, and my lifetime ambition is to see the Aurora (hence the name). I will take part in any discussion about the universe. I would have viewed the Persieds, but here in Scotland it was too cloudy all week. Hale-Bopp was the last great view in our sky.

Hay thanks. This is great.

The Q&A would be good.

I'll pop you all in. If there are any links you'd like on the page let me know.


Aurora, I've only seen aurora one this July and it was really good. At least youve got more chance being in Scotland, minus the wether of course.

I'd like in on this project too please. The Perseids watch was fun - just knowing other crazy people were out there staring intently at the sky was an incentive to join in and report back.
My interests are comets and planets and meteor showers, all those wanderers amongst our stars. But I'm really a sucker for stargazing, whatever there is to see.

There was a weekend when the Aurora was supposed to be good in July, but, as usual, the clouds came just as it began to get dark. This was the cloudiest summer I can remember here, so there'll be more results in a while!

Hay thanks y'all for joining. It's great to meet like minded folk.

Oh, would anyone like to help me run this site? I really need a spellchecker!

Not that you aren't all helping, just my spelling is atrocious -you see?

Do you have a badge that I could stick on my userpage? If not, go to http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html and find a cool one to modify. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap000821.html just happens to be my favourite (I wonder why...)!

I have web space and I know how to use it... Well I will pretty soon, and then I will design a neat little motife (?) for you all to keep. I'll also do one for the Cafe Nervosa, have you been there? Do pop by for a latte.

Galaxy Babe, you said you'd like to help with the Q & A session. I've only read through the forum yesterday so I'll get it set up right away. If you want to give me a hand could you send me your E-mail address so we can get together. Mine is [email protected].

[email protected] if you'd like me to help

Supoib, I'll let you know just as soon as I've got my email sorted out.

Thanks!

If you know of anyone who may be interested in this site then do let them know.

I'll do some neat graphics for this site now and get them up in the next week or so so keep an eye out for it.

Cool...

I've done one and just sending it to you.
