Best Job Ever

For the last year I have served the New Mexico Tech Astronomy Club as its President. It has been my honor to work with the best group of officers I’ve ever had the privilege of working with. As the new semester comes to a close, I’m going to be giving up my position to one of the other club members. Looking back at everything I’ve had the pleasure in doing for and with the Astronomy Club, it’s hard not to feel a sense of sadness. It’s not the end though and giving the position to someone else gives them a chance to take the club in a new direction, bringing with them new ideas and a new vision. In addition, I won’t be leaving the club anytime soon. I’ll be running for Vice President for the 2012/2013 school year, and if elected hope to continue to serve the club as I always have, bringing the universe down to earth for people to explore.

 

To my replacement, clear skies. To myself, let’s move on ahead.

A Look Ahead.

So for quite some time this blog has set doing nothing. It’s time to change that and in an effort to focus myself more, I intend to bring a purpose to this blog which I hope will provide me not only a reason to write more frequently, but will be enjoyable by my readers and myself. This short post will detail what I intend to do.

Looking ahead

1. I’m going to make this blog a once per week blog. If I have a reason to, I will write more than that. But I intend to write at least one post per week.
2. The focus of this blog will shift to follow my experience learning Physics and Astronomy at one of the countries best small science and engineering schools, NMT.

This is what readers should expect.

So, keep an eye out, new posts will be coming soon!

Where is our Country going? ​

I have a question now.

Is this the fault of our elected leaders? Or, is this the fault of you, me, and the rest of the citizens of the United States?

It’s been a while!

I realize I’ve been a little neglectful recently and just wanted to let you all know I’m still here, chugging along day after day and working on my research. I have a couple of planned posts so stay tuned and check back often!

Keep looking up!

We have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night

 

It is unfortunate to report that Patsy Tombaugh, the wife of the late astronomer Clyde Tombaugh passed away. She was 99 years old.

As the old saying goes “We have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.” So too did Mrs. Tombaugh. Rest now.
