Sorry for my lack of posting. I have somewhat shifted over to YouTube: [link] where I have put up many artistic/informative videos. Please check it out if you have the time. Also, community service and college applications have been eating up my time. I'll still be posting though.

Clear Skies,
Will

I hope everyone had a good 100 hours of Astronomy between April 2nd and April 5th!

So...I need to come up with an excuse to why I've been away and this account has been dormant. I am going to college now. Is that good enough?

And if you've been eager waiting for the answer to the question I posed in January. We know of 344 extrasolar planets to date plus the EIGHT in our solar system (total of 352). However, theoretically, the number of planets in the universe is much larger but not infinite. The Kepler spacecraft is about to start searching for more and that should bump up those numbers. We could also possibly find an exoplanet that can contain/has life. Wouldn't that be exciting!!!!!!

I hope everyone is enjoying Spring in the northern hemisphere!

THE YEAR OF ASTRONOMY!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know about you but I was so glad that 2008 was over. I have a feeling this year will bring much more enlightenment to the world. Coincidentally, it is the International Year of Astronomy! That means more astronomy photos from moi!!!! That might also mean me annoying you to death about astronomy facts that I'll post on this journal.

Here is an example:
How many planets are there? Nine? Eight? Leave your responses and I'll tell you the real truth in my next journal.

I have so many pictures to share but so little time to show them. I've been dealing with many things with myself and school lately so it has been hard posting. I am also attempting to write a novel. The key word is "attempting." I will probably post some pictures before the end of the year. But, in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

I was very happy Tuesday night when I heard OBAMA won by a good majority. Secondly, I didn't realize until then how fun it is to say his name. You can say "Obamaland" or "ObamBa" or "ObamBaBa." It keeps me healthily occupied throughout the day. Let's just hope that his change brings better days for the United States and the world. And, of course, the definite first thing to do is to have a press conference on what type of dog they are going to have.

Pictures will be coming slowly. My life has been hectic and boring the past few weeks.
