Astronomy

"I know that I am mortal and the creature of a day; but when I search out the massed wheeling circles of the stars, my feet no longer touch the earth, but, side by side with Zeus himself, I take my fill of ambrosia, the food of the gods." 
-- Claudius Ptolemaeus (Ptolemy)

The Wizard's Eyes Turn Toward the Heavens

 

When I moved to Suburban Northern Virginia last year from light-polluted New York City, I gazed at the skies and rediscovered that the heavens consisted of more than an occasional moon.  Although still effected by the lights of near-by Washington, DC, the sky seemed full of forgotten stars that had been unable to compete with the glitter and glare of Manhattan.  The amateur scientist in me determined to get a telescope and explore these new found wonders.
