The Fascinating World of Astronomy








---------------------------------------------------------------

Astronomy is one of my hobbies since I was a child and meanwhile I made it to my profession (see Curriculum Vitae) and I want to fascinate non-astronomers with our overwhelming universe.

What is not content of this web-page?
I don't want to explain fundamental astronomy, like "what are stars?" or "what are planets?", since there exist many very good web-pages in the Internet about fundamental astronomy. You can find some links to these pages at my astronomy link-list at this web-page.

What about Astronomy you will find here?
I want to give a fascinating insight of the interesting topical astronomical research on which I participate. Web-pages which discuss these topics are either very fundamental or they are made for experts. I want to close this gap, by explaining the most interesting, but complicated topics with easy words and the help of JAVA and Javascript.
I want to avoid the slang of the experts and use easy words that every novice who is interested on our incredible universe, can follow. People who want to go deeper into detail will find the corresponding scientific publications on this web-page. From time to time I will add pictures, graphics, JAVA-Applets and much more, to illustrate complicated things in an easy way. Additionally I will expand my own collection of my own astronomy pictures.
