Bob and his telescope

* Lifelong amateur astronomer
* Volunteer NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador
* Outreach Officer for the Warren Astronomical Society
* Blogger for the Vatican Observatory Foundation

I do a lot of astronomy outreach; I lecture about astronomy and space science, and set up his telescopes at schools, planetariums, conventions, and other venues.

I am fantastically interested in asteroids and near-Earth objects (NEOs), and a HUGE fan of space visualization applications like Kerbal Space Program and NASA Eyes on the Solar System.

I am determined to improve the teaching of astronomy, space science, and space history throughout Michigan, and the U.S.
