Hello, my name is Carlos Gilbert, I am from Porto, in northern Portugal. Born 1948 and ever been an enthusiast about aviation. Now, with time passing and knowledge about matters of the cosmos, my interest shifts more and more about deep space exploration, what mankind has already been able to achieve and what most likely it will getting to know when the James Webb Space Telescope will be launched and running. I also have a discussion group on my Facebook wall, I called "A Space Odissey" (in portuguese language), where I share articles and videos about this theme. I hope to find here in this forum interesting people and some answers to my doubts... Thanks for accepting me! CG

[Cosmic Mathew]

Greetings and salutations everyone! I've just joined the forums a few days ago after my book interview on the Weekly Space Hangouts. I've been a long-time lurker and fan of the community, so I thought I better say hi at this point .

A little more about me, I am a senior community manager in the game industry. I work with studios on how to design and produce games that involve, or entirely design around, astronomical elements like space based colonization games and the like. I am also currently in Austin working with a studio on a special MMO project.

At other times I'm researching and working on a book about some sort of fun topic. This past year has been all about red dwarf exoplanets and their exotic properties that may make them habitable. I love learning about planetary science in particular, and am excited to be publishing a book soon on that topic!

Meanwhile, I hope to hang out here with all of you on all things cosmoquest!

Hi bryanpoprobson here, I know quite a few of the members on here already being a member of apollohoax.net for sometime now. I have a background in Telecoms and was a support engineer for the UK's Satellite earth stations and gave training in several of the systems in use. I look forward to engaging with people in my own area of expertise. I have done a few, average at best, videos debunking some of the claims of hoax believers, the main thing coming out of the exercise being the realisation that I need to invest in a decent microphone.

[Bryanpoprobson]

Just a Hi, some people on here may know me from apollohoax.net and possibly YouTube, look forward to adding argument where I can, though from a browse through these threads I am minor league.

Greeting.
I'm here to make some fun and promote new (different) ideas. The theme I have countless.
Please accept my style (provocation) and bad English. I do not use: insulting humiliation and the like.
I use only evidence for discussion.
Curiosity can visit my site.

Hi Alextang, welcome to CQ. I've merged your post into our general welcome thread.

I hope you are aware that this is a science forum, and that astrology is not a science. We are happy to discuss it, but I suspect most of the discussion will be to prove it incorrect.

[BareMaximum]

Hi everyone. This looks like a very healthy astronomy and science community.

I am an aspiring science fiction writer, and this forum and community looks like a very good possible resource for assistance with being factually accurate in certain details of my story-making.

Hopefully we can have some fun together as I'm in the process of beginning a book series and doing my initial research.

Thanks for allowing me to join the fold.

[ToSeek]

Welcome, BareMaximum! You are not the only aspiring science fiction writer to join us here (and we've even had some who are well past aspiring). Our members are always happy to help with questions about science.

[The Samoan Dicer]

Hi! I am new to this forum. I hope to learn a lot about astronomy. I live in Bozeman montana. I have a Celestron Six inch reflector. It is really cool. I love to use it to look at the moon and the Pleiades stars. I have always loved astronomy my whole life. I hope this forum can help expand my horizons!

I am very new to all this so you guys might have to carry ! I have become obsessed with gravity! I recently jumped from Newton to Einstein and I now "understand" the difference between the "pull" of gravity and how matter is really warping space and/or spacetime. I read this yesterday: "matter tells spacetime to curve, and space and time tells matter how to move" I understand and agree with this. So now you guys know my "level of understanding" in this area. Also. I will apologize now for any silly question that might come your way!

[Ed Smith]

Howdy, Ed Smith here. I live retired comfortably in a Lakeside community nestled in NE Texas with 2 dogs a cat and a healthy broadband connection. I am a happy grandfather, father, son, lover, biker and an amateur Slooh Astronomer. I've held a quiet love of the cosmos since childhood. I got hooked studying for Boy Scout Merit Badges in Astronomy and have never let it go. Having spent a large portion of my life in the Pacific northwest and Montana Rockies. I have had countless horseback trips into the mountains to find the purest night skies beckon me to glass them every clear night, and I never missed a night. A saddle for a pillow I could hold binoculars steady and in place for hours using the horn for an arm rest. While I only possessed less than a layman's knowledge of the night sky, I never let that stop me from dedicating sometimes entire pack trips into the back-country for just that purpose.
While never a politically centered as young man, I did find myself pushing, and I mean really pushing, the Hubble Project to all of my young and partying friends of the early 80's. "FOR THE PRICE OF DINNER AND A MOVIE" was the mantra of the day. I was labeled a freak, but it never bothered me. Now at 61, I have garnered a half of a lifetime following the Great Observatories for well over 20 years now. Still, I will ride my Road King, with my trusty Binoculars well away from the spoiled night sky. If I can't do that, I have Slooh on every clear night "high" in the Canary Islands and/or central Chile.

Yea-up, "freak" sum's it up well.

Keep Looking Up, Ed Smith.
