Ever since I was a kid I loved astronomy. One of my favorite memories as a kid was when we had some people from NASA come to our school and talk about the Space Shuttle Columbia which was launched a month later in April 1981. Of course, a few years later in my teens I had a period when I started to look at other "heavenly bodies"...but I never lost my interest or enthusiasm with astronomy.

How about you?

You would have liked my parents then. They were into it. You can see that by what they named me, after the Main Sequence Star Altair. My sister Cassie's real name is Cassiopeia, named after the constellation. How would you like to be called that in school?? We got made fun of quite a bit. Strangely, they named my older brother Bill. Go figure!

Yes, I love to sit around and star gaze. Though about changing my major in school for awhile... Looking into telescopes lately to take with me when I get out to the country or go camping.

Once upon a time when I was seriously discussing child names Cassiopeia came up. It was my idea and preference too. It's to bad you guys got picked on, with names like Shanaenae and Shaniquwa and my favorite Im'uneek (Yes this is an actual name of a child, no kidding) who knows.

What I most love about hiking is getting to places that still have a night sky worth watching. I have been fortunate in being able to view the night sky from both the southern and northern hemispheres, both in wild places, places where thereare so many stars to view that you feel almost overwhelmed and for me, at least,feel sense of awe and wonder.


On nights when the whole of the sky is filled with stars and the over arching milky way is about as close to a religious experience as I am likely to get. I feel both humble, that I am part, perhaps the thinking, conscious part of our amazing universe and awe struck that all that I see in a wilderness night sky is a tiny, tiny fraction of all that there is to see.


Yes. I love astronomy.

I live in a very rural area in southeast Alabama. The one thing I love the most is being able to stargaze. On a clear spring-autumn night it seems as if you can reach up and touch them. I love the winter sky as well, but it just gets too darn cold to stay out for too long.

I enjoy looking up at the stars and reading how the ancients viewed and related stories of the heavens. I even have a star watching book... alas I don't get out into prime viewing areas often if at all to appreciate the celestial lights

All we've been talking about lately is the asteroid that has come to live on planet earth, and if anyone could find it, they'd be rich!!! Love Astronomy. And anything to do with it. Once went out to an observatory with my kids at midnight to watch the aura borealis. Beautiful, could have watched it all night long.

I've also always love looking up at the stars. I wish once I find a job I like, hopefully, it will be near a city but I can live in like the countryside with huge clearings, so that at night I can look up and see all the stars. I've looked up at them so much that I am not overwelmed by all of the stars, I make myself disfocus on just one star and open my consciousness to the whole sky taking everything in. I think, however, that I would like to view the stars from the bestplace possible... on an EVA in space. I'm still looking for who I am, what kind of job I want even though I am graduating from undergrad with an aerospace engineering degree and soon entering into grad school for mechanical engineering. Even, with all that engineering experience I feel that I will get; it still will not be enough for what I am looking for. In addition to looking for who I am there is another thing I am looking for, but have absolutely no idea what it may be.
