This website is a project of two people with some material
contributed from friends, classmates, colleagues and
fellow enthusiasts.
A short biography about me can be found on the blog portion of the website.
Almost all of the material within this
site was written by me. Other material are a direct plug-in
from essays and projects I have written during my pursuit of
my Master's Degree in Astronomy. Any material and images
that have come from any source other than my own material is so indicated.
Astronomy Online is more than just a hobby for me, it is
a way I can contribute to the world of astronomy - and I
hope you find it useful.
The Internet service provider fee, domain registration,
equipment and advertising are all paid for by my own money.
The website site design and database administration is
maintained with the help of my beautiful and talented wife, Chanthirar.
If you like the website, please tell your friends. If you
find the website useful in anyway, please consider a
donation or buy something from our
Store.
I have separated this website into major categories, with
each main category grouped into easy to follow
sub-categories. The content on this site is not to replace
other website's, magazines or textbooks; only to serve as a
reference or to enhance existing content, books, and magazines.
There are no advertisements, no spy-ware, no ad-ware, and no tracking
cookies.
The website used to sit on my own server, but due to some financial setbacks I have had to switch to web hosting. The cost in electricity alone covers the yearly cost to host the site, which is a good thing.
Where I am not:
Geocities, MySpace, YouTube, Google Groups, Flickr, del.ecio.uc, any other community sites.
Because of the consolidation of my blog and the website, everything falls under astronomyonline.org. This means that I do not have any blog or MySpace page or any other "free" account anywhere. If you see one, it is not from me.
However, I do have a blog dedicated to my other hobby - drumming. The site is called Astro-Drummer.
Many thanks...
