Saturday Views


 I have been fortunate enough in my life to have met some wonderful and intelligent people. Some of my friends that I admire the most are always learning and pursuing knowledge. I don't mean that in an academic way either! They would all have their field of study for college and/or career but then in their free time, one of their hobbies would include some way of learning about other subjects. An old roommate of mine listened to podcasts every day and would learn the most obscure but useful things. My boyfriend is almost always watching videos about history just for the fun of it. So, in honor of these wonderful people in my life, I started learning astronomy for fun.
