"I know that I am mortal and the creature of a day; but when I search
out the massed wheeling circles of the stars, my feet no longer touch the earth,
but, side by side with Zeus himself, I take my fill of ambrosia, the food of the
gods."
-- Claudius Ptolemaeus (Ptolemy)

The Wizard's Eyes Turn Toward the Heavens
|
|
|
When I moved to Suburban Northern Virginia last year from
light-polluted New York City, I gazed at the skies and rediscovered that
the heavens consisted of more than an occasional moon. Although
still effected by the lights of near-by Washington, DC, the sky seemed
full of forgotten stars that had been unable to compete with the glitter
and glare of Manhattan. The amateur scientist in me determined to
get a telescope and explore these new found wonders. |
