Hello Utah Astronomers, I'm new to the list and wanted to introduce myself. Right now I don't have a lot to contribute, but I'm curious how I can best keep up with all the happenings in the local community. Beyond this list, what groups or forums do you recommend a beginner join? I'd love to find something on Facebook so I can match names with faces, but so far I've not found a Utah Astronomy related FB group. Does one exist? -Ryan --- More about me (for the especially curious): --- I've been a Linux Sys Admin for 15 years, 8 years at Adobe Systems. I work in the big building across from Thanksgiving Point. I have a background in lots of different activities including electronics, photography, and more. Astronomy is something I've long been interested in, but I am interested in so many things I'm wary about adding yet another (potentially expensive) hobby. That said, I have a really good primary reason for wanting to learn more about astronomy. I don't know where she came up with this idea, but my 10 year old daughter is quite sure she wants to be a cosmologist or astrophysicist when she gets older. And not just any cosmologist, she wants to be an exoplanetary specialist. I know a little about physics and other sciences (I enjoy following the happenings at CERN), and she clearly has an aptitude for these subjects. I'm sure some day she'll know a great deal more than me. Whether my daughter grows up to be a planet hunter or not, I hope she will retain her interest in our universe. I'm looking for ways to continue to inspire and teach her as she gets older. In the process, I hope to learn some things myself. I look forward to meeting some of you soon.
