Dear Astronomer

Dear Astronomer lets you, the reader ask questions about astronomy and science, as well as up-to-date space and science news, product reviews and more. Submitted questions are answered by an Astronomer who has nearly fifteen years of amateur Astronomy experience, an education in Astronomy/Astrophysics, and is passionate about observing, performing research activities and participating in “outreach” activities – specifically those involving Radio Astronomy, 2MASS, Kepler, sidewalk astronomy, dark sky preservation, and answering questions submitted to this site. The mission of “Dear Astronomer” can be simply explained through the tagline “Bringing space back down to Earth” – many times lecturers, websites and other “personalities” over explain and leave the public with more questions than answers! All too often, this subject matter can be “dry” and boring.
