Hello, Theskysearchers!

Hello, Theskysearchers!

I am pleased to be here for knowledge and experience sharing. Public eye contribution.
Through my education and career I have passed a lot of challenges and projects, gaining more and more mates, friends, mentors and followers. So that to be enriched here as well, I believe.

For me Astronomy started as a view of another world and trying to grasp that we are a part of it from childhood (from being a kid of astronomy passionate professional). Hence, to some extent natural, when you are startled by everything. It doesn’t mean though that I grew up in observatories, laboratories or launch sites.
Now it takes a noticeable part of my life more or less, according to projects that I am involved in as a polytechnic professional.
Literally, in my free time, it might be called a hobby, but not one that is starving for the best photos collection or any specific group membership. Astronomy is a place to go with my arsenal of knowledge to get more, a subject for a good mini-project and team-work sometimes.
My best comparison would be being a lonely fan of a band, but not a member of the majority fan-group, which averages experience.
It is individualized travel. And I like to stand up and get feedback, other points of view or support. Meaningful conversation, which hopefully goes to meaningful results.
Astronomy is intertwined with physics, matter of things, with history, poetry and music (and it is exciting for us to be in the days of technological revolution history).
As for all the deeds it is great to have feedback from a contribution.
