Lunar Phase Tracking Software and Astronomy
Astronomy isn't what is used to be. Astronomy has moved on since I was a kid!
I have always been fascinated by the moon and as a child used to view it through a fairly basis telescope which my parents bought me (unexpectedly) one Christmas. Over the years other interests took over along with the pressures of a family taking up my time. What I hadn't realised what that in the intervening period some great software has come out which if you have an interest in both facts and figures and astronomy, will certainly hold a lot of interest for you. Moon phase predictions software now contains so many items of interest that you may not need your telescope again!
The Moon and astronomy in general has certainly seen a resurgence of interest in the last few years, both in space exploration and among amateur astronomers young and old. Whilst our cities may grow ever larger, the amount of lighting has also increased and many city-dwellers are hard-pushed to see anything but the brightest stars in their neon-glow skies. But the Moon suffers no such indignity. It serenely crosses the sky, ever

As a child I really wanted to get into radio controlled model airplanes - my Dad had built them and I think I had got the bug from him. Trouble is, when I most wanted to get into the hobby I was too young - then I lost interest for a while and the dream seemed to die
I got back into it a couple of years ago and as it turns out, flying radio controlled model airplanes is every bit as exciting as I had anticipated. Radio controlled cars and boats are boring in comparison - but with radio controlled model airplanes, things are different. A model airplane kit is fast, powerful, and dangerous. It can (obviously)take off and fly. With little practice, you can learn to do loops, barrel rolls, dives, and other amazing tricks. Although it is possible to crash and damage a model airplane, most of the beginners models can be fixed pretty easily.
If you have ever wanted to fly a model airplane, I highly recommend trying it. A lot of grown-ups feel silly being in public playing with a kids toy, but you might as well get it...
