Pull up a lawn chair. Sit back and relax while your eyes adapt to the darkness. The day is about to be done; the night is here. It's past astronomical twilight and the stars have already begun to appear. Welcome to Bluebird Observatory, a working backyard amateur observatory, where lawn chair or recreational astronomy will take us both into the majesty and grandeur of the night sky. Look! They're like ice diamonds scattered on black velvet! Just sit there or help yourself to coffee or the sodas in the fridge while I roll the observatory roof back.

There are thousands of us out there! Each is unique. Everyone has different interests. Some like to take pictures with an "old fashioned" SLR camera and some like using advanced Charged Coupled Devices (CCD). There are even a very few of us that are fortunate enough to get paid for studying the universe. Some of us just like to look up to the night sky and wonder what makes it all go. I hope you take the time and explore some of these sites on the internet and realize how important astronomy is to us. If you would like to have your home page added here e-mail me and I will add it. Please be sure to put "Personal Page" in the subject heading. If you would like to add a link to my home page from yours then you certainly may do so (Just let me know - I get a kick out of seeing links to my page!). If you have trouble with any of the links on this page or discover that a URL has changed then please notify me and I will correct it.

This giant has sparked no fewer than 9 X-Class Solar Flares since September 7th including a tremendous X-17 event. The most recent event occurred yesterday and hurled a Coronal Mass Ejection directly towards Earth. The combination of elevated geomagnetic levels and the directness of the event have forecasters suggesting a 70% chance of severe geomagnetic activity with aurora visible much further south than is typical.

WHAT'S NEW This weeks Night Sky: April 26 – May 4, 2002 AN News Alert: Saturday 27th April 2002 Planetary Alignment Comet Ikeya-Zhang Continues to Brighten ... The Universe Today UPDATED DAILY! Foreword by the Society President - William P Recagno Where do we come from? How did the universe begin? Why is the universe the way it is? How will it end? All my life, I have been fascinated by the big questions that face us, and have tried to find scientific answers to them. If, like me, you have looked at the stars, and tried to make sense of what you see, you too have started to wonder what makes the universe exist. The questions are clear, and deceptively simple. But the answers have always seemed well beyond our reach. Until now. The ideas which had grown over two thousand years of observation have had to be radically revised. In less than a hundred years, we have found a new way to think of ourselves. From sitting at the centre of the universe, we now find ourselves orbiting an average-sized sun, which is just one of millions of stars in our own Milky Way galaxy. And our galaxy itself is just one of billions of galaxies, in a universe that is infinite and expanding. But this is far from the end of a long history of inquiry. Huge questions remain to be answered, before we can hope to have a complete picture of the universe we live in.
