WHAT'S UP ??

A lot of us would like to get started in Astronomy but aren't sure exactly how to do it. We check out some magazines, we see there are many books we can read, we investigate web-sites that promise to help us in our quest. But it seems like a heck of a lot of work. Well, it is!
However, part of the problem is that we look at the big picture and it seems like it's a huge undertaking. But like everything else, if we break the monster down into small bite-size pieces anyone can "eat an elephant".

There is a web-site that breaks down looking at astronomical phenomena into daily portions. If you follow their plan, by the end of the year you will have investigated 365 things that you have not done before! And next year you'll start on another 365 little "mouthfuls", and at some point you'll have a pretty good idea what the heck you're doing without ever knowing exactly when you morphed from a "wannabe" to a "be".

I apologize for not informing you of this on January 1st, as you're now starting out the year of observing a few days behind. But hopefully you'll find yourself enthusiastic about the study and catch up quickly.
