Through VLBI I even get to keep in touch with the remote quasars!

And planetary geodesy is another subject.

I look forward to mix my before and after here at Bad Astronomy
Hi Stellare. Nice handle!

I started out as an astrophysics major, but then sold out and veered into mechanical engineering.

BTW, there are some who want to take the Pluto ruling and extend it such that only J, S, U, and N are considered as planets!

I trust you folks are no longer overwhelmed by all the Norwegian Blues that stopped pining and headed north?
