Earl's AstroPage is all about astronomy. I have been an optical astronomer at Perkins Observatory and Otterbein College, as well as a radio astronomer at Big Ear Radio Telescope. This site is meant to assist the amateur astronomer (especially the beginner) in this wonderful hobby. Beginners may download the text file "begin.zip", which is a short(!) guide intended to assist you. Follow the links below for more information.
Have specific questions about astronomy, or space in general? Email 'em! I will do my best to answer any and all questions regarding space, astronomy, the planets, etc as I can via return email. Please limit your questions to these topics, since I'll (probably) just ignore 'em if you don't! There is no limit to the number of questions however, and remember, the only dumb questions are the ones you don't ask! All of the questions & answers will be edited, checked for spelling & placed on a separate page for your perusal.
