Hi all.

My name is José aka Zé. I'm from Portugal and I study engeneering.

I have been a reader of Universe Today for quite some time but only now noticed what a great forum/community you guys have here.

Keep the good work.

Hi, BOZO. I used to watch you on TV when I was a little kid. You were a funny clown, but a little scary.

Welcome to the BAUT Forum.

This subforum is Questions and Answers and it's a place to ask technical questions about space and astronomy. It's not really for introductions. Perhaps a kind moderator will move this.

A good place for introductions is over in the Off-Topic Babbling subforum, in topic: Introduce Yourself.

Well I'm not new, but it's been a heckuva long time since I posted last, so a re-introduction seems proper. Hopefully I won't get dragged away for so long again in the future.

djoliva, I like your sig photos too!

Don't be unkind to yourself, I would definitely say fair.
Why else would I keep looking for answers such as:-
ds^2=x^2+y^2

This is from a poster called DoYouKnow who is studying the structure of the human brain. The metric described is remarkable, much like looking at a flat picture using x and y co-ordinates giving it the look of pushing it in depth to a full 3D description.

Alright I don't really know 'how' kind you are but I don't hear any complaints either.

Cheers

Some of the other mods have taken new "introduction" threads such as these and added them to the Introduce Yourself! sticky, while deleting the new intro thread to eliminate redundancy.

Meanwhile, welcome to the BAUT, BOZO! Carl Sagan used you as a reference.

Read the FAQs, especially the rules, and have fun.

Hello, I'm Nina from Ireland and I'm a gamma ray astronomer for the summer, before I go back to being a physics and astronomy undergrad. How's everyone doing?

Hello! I used to be on the board a few years back, and am glad to have rediscovered it. I'm a physics undergraduate student, interested in astronomy and plasma physics and aerospace. Nice to meet you all!
Random fact 'generator': I'm fond of anime, rabbits, and ninjas and will probably sell paintings if a career in science doesn't work out, hehe.

Haha, I was thinking homeless unemployed musician as my alternative career option! Anime rules, my secondary school books used to be covered in it.

Thanks for hellos
