Greetings, all!

It is with no small measure of sadness that I announce that the Daily
Astronomer, which we started in 2002, has come to an end.    I hope that
the joy you derived from reading the articles was at least half of that
which I derived from writing them.      Unfortunately, time pressures and
other factors have induced me to make this decision. However, the tedious
astronomy writing has not ended altogether.  Allow me to introduce  "The
Wandering Astronomer"

www.wanderingastronomer.com

As was true with the DA, the Wandering Astronomer will include articles
from all branches of astronomy, astrophysics, and even mythology.       The
Wandering Astronomer will also include articles about "Big History"
Essentially, these articles will be like the DA, except they won't be
posted every day.

The name "wandering astronomer" seems quite apt, for astronomy people, like
humans in general, are restless wanderers at heart.     The only difference
is that the astronomer seeks to wander in all the remote and exotic places
that shall forever remain inaccessible to him/her.    Such is the
unfathomable power of the human mind that it can defy gravity and explore
every niche within the unbounded black yonder.   Even though the DA is now
a catacomb wraith,  these wanderings shall continue, albeit less
frequently.*

I want to thank my beloved spouse Susan Herrick-Gleason for designing and
developing this blog.

We will still use this list-serve to post these new Wandering Astronomer
articles, at least for the next few months.

Thank you all again for riding with me for all these years.
I hope our journeys together will continue.
