I’m in the last day of a meeting in Santa Fe, New Mexico and will be heading back to my new home in Illinois tonight. Sadly, that means I’ll miss the annular eclipse that is about to happen, but I’ll be sure to make plans for the 2017 total eclipse that will be visible across…

In the Clouds
Don’t get me wrong. The night sky is awesome. But I’m totally drawn to the cloud sequences in this lovely timelapse video of the Canary Islands by Daniel López: El Cielo de Canarias / Canary sky – Tenerife from Daniel López on Vimeo. Sometimes they look like ocean waves. Other times, like blobby self-aware masses…
The Future of Planet Earth

That means, I got to build cool telescopes that will open up new frontiers in the universe. I also love to teach, both in a classroom setting and informally. I'm happy to talk about the universe with anyone who will listen, and I am skeptically curious about all things.Also blogging at…
