Question
what is asromery

Answer
Kieran,

Astronomy is about trying to understand the stars, the moon, and anything we see in the sky at night.  If you like old stories, astronomy can also be about learning the old myths and legends that ancient people told themselves to explain the stars in the sky.  Ask your school librarian to help you find a book about constellations, and try to get your parents to help you read it!  I bet you'll have lots of fun learning.

Keep Looking Up!!

Expertise

I am not a professional astronomer by any means, but astronomy has been an interest of mine since childhood, and I am well-informed on the subject. If unable to answer someone`s question personally, I will know how to quickly find the answer online, because I keep myself informed about developments in the field and I know where to look for information.

Experience

I worked in an observatory for awhile at one point, doing various interesting things with a computer.
