As a professor of astronomy and physics at Broward College near Ft. Lauderdale, FL, I want an engaged, challenging student.  I cherish this chance to shape the next generation of great thinkers.  I know it is cliché, but it is a truth that I hold close to my heart.  And in this blog I will be covering the different topics relating to Astronomy of the Stars and Galaxies and Horizons in Astronomy.   I also hope to get you, the reader, thinking about items talked about in the blog!
