Who is the Skybernaut?

Me! And it could be you, too! I made up the name as a play on words: computer explorer (a cybernaut) and the fact that I explore the sky (I'm a research assistant in astronomy). I love to explore places and ideas - science, literature, art, nature - the whole world. This page is where I check in. Everyone is most welcome to come along for the trip! I will eventually have a journal for me to write in, and a guestbook for you to write in. Please visit and see what others have found!

Astronomy Stuff

I've been helping astronomers for a long time, about 20 years. I have worked with some very interesting people on very interesting projects. Some of the observatories I've worked at are:
  • Very Large Array Radio Telescope
  • International Ultraviolet Explorer
  • Hubble Space Telescope
  • Wide-field InfraRed Explorer
  • Helio Research
Mostly what I do is write software to display data, which helps the scientist analyse it.

Music Stuff

I like to have fun! Something that is really fun for me right now is playing African Talking Drum. My teacher, Francis Awe is from Nigeria, and knew he was destined to bring this drum to the rest of the world since he was a tiny baby. I have many friends because of him.

Writing silly stories

I have many friends here in cyber-space. One thing that we do together is write stories. We usually don't start out trying to be silly but we end up there anyway. You can look at our efforts - maybe you'd like to join in, or start your own story writing group.

And now a word from...

Well, not exactly our sponsor. I believe, and so do many of my friends, that arguing about religion and beliefs is a bad thing. We believe that there is one God, and it's the same one for all of us, regardless of what part of the world we come from or what color we are or what we call Him. We are Baha'is, and I have some links if you want to find out what else we believe. I've also included some links so we can understand a little of what each other thinks. So if you want to know about Islam or Chritianity or Buhdism or other religions, please take a look at my links. (Suggestions welcome!)
