Introduction

Hello and welcome to my blog Learning Astronomy, if you made it this far into the various blogs I have running around the Internet than I'm sure you have seen plenty about who I am so I will get right down to why I am writing this blog.

As you probably already know I am 44 years old and currently attending San Diego City College full time on my 9/11 GI Bill. If you are a veteran who separated or retired after 9/11 I suggest you get in touch with your local VA office and check this program out, out of all the previous GI bills in this history of our military this the one with the most benefits, where unlike other GI Bills where you have to pay in money, the only requirement is that you served and got an Honorable Discharge after 9/11.

OK the one thing I believe the only thing in this world that benefits everyone is an education, and I'm not necessarily talking about an education where you have to sit through a boring class or sit in front of a blackboard type program in front of your computer. I myself am a life long learner. It may sound boring to you but even as a child the majority of books I read was something you can learn from, whet er its a book about history, science, math or what ever. Even my wife and sister in law call me data man.

This blog itself is just me wanting to pass on to you what I have learned in my Astronomy class here at San Diego City College, I have found this class very int resting and I believe many are interested in space but don't have the money or time to go to college or for that matter to spend money on books from places like Amazon or Barnes and Noble. So that is my purpose here. Just to pass on what I have learned about astronomy to those who may be interested.

One thing I do want you to know, is that I am very interested in what others think, if you have an opp ion about something I've posted, about this blog in general or even about me, I am open to criticism. If you think what I am doing here is stupid don't be shy tell me so, I may not agree with you but go ahead and bounce it off of me any way.

Well that's enough of my spouting off, I hope that you will enjoy this blog or any others I may have written. I've made quite of few and I know I have some out there that I have forgotten about. If you find one of mine that hasn't been posted in for a month or two or even a year or two let me know so I can go back and look into it.

Thank You for stopping by.
