What I Know About Astronomy

Well, I know how to spell it. I know it involves the study of the stars, and constellations. I know that every star is a sun. I've read a couple books about space (and by a couple I mean one) which did stress the scale of the universe. If earth was the size of a period then neptune would be 32 miles away, or something like that. It is (like you said, Mr. Maddox) mind blowing.
I know about the constellations. I am born under the bull, Taurus (which basically boils down to "I have a huge sex drive and bad temper"). My girlfriend is the ram, my best friend is a Libra, but I guess that doesn't matter. But the constellations are said to influence what kind of person you are, depending on which one you were born under. It's fun to believe, and sure, Taurus has got some things about me right, but I don't know.... Maybe in another 50 years scientists will discover some new theory that explains how the months you were born in alter you're personality. Until then, no comment.
I know that astronomers have to know and use a whole lot of math. When I was growing up, I was fascinated by space. Actually, I still am. But the math part was the one thing that kept me from pursuing it as a career. I haven't really thought about it that much since I made that decision, but nowadays I don't look so harshly on math. Maybe I should give it another shot. I've always known that either as a job or hobby, I would never lose touch with space. I could never lose touch with space. I know it's not very original, but honestly I don't think anything fascinates me more than the Final Frontier.
And that's my blog for today. Peace
