Learning to blog with some comments about astronomy

Hi everyone. I am learning how to blog, so I am going to take this chance to get to talk about one of my favorite subjects, astronomy. As you can see from this picture of the moon, I am also learning a little about astrophotography.



What got me into astronomy? I have loved it ever since I was a kid, what else can I say...



The book "Galileo's Daughter" is so well written that it also had an enormous influence on me. Suor Maria Celeste was an incredible, smart woman who kept up a close correspondence with her father during her whole lifetime, sharing his discoveries and his his trial and its aftermath. Eppur si muove, eppur si blog.

Tonight the Orionid meteor shower should be happening but I think it will be obscured by snow - I will keep you posted.
