Hello, looker-on! I'm not particularly attached to any one name, but you can call me Murray or Koshak or Kosmos or that weird kid with the cool website. You can even make something up! We're all on a massive twirling rock! My preferred pronouns change by the day, but even I don't bother keeping track of the ephemeral so any/all is stupendous - my favorites are they/them and it/its, though, as in IT, THE UNIVERSE or IT, OCCAM'S RAZOR or IT, A MIND.

TOP ASTRONOMICAL PHENOMENA

2. pulsars (the universe's heartbeats)
3. a nebula getting stirred like hot soup, clumping together, and forming a new star

This site will be used for expressing myself, just like my papa always said :^)
Actually, it'll mostly be me talking about interesting things. Like a blog? Is this a blog? I didn't grow up in the blog era of the internet. Is it still the blog era of the internet?

Other sites (blogs?) I follow: bogleech! maia crimew! the echinoblog!

CONTEMPLATIONS OF A MIND:

TOP ASTRONOMICAL PHENOMENA
(to look out for NOW!!!!!)

While unfortunately not a real newcomer to our stellar neighborhood, the point of light will actually be caused by a once-every-80-years recurrent nova.

• List of comets visible in the sky now!
