Default Great Astronomers - Only an **AMATEUR**???

Grote Reber -- Greatest Radio Astronomer of all time?

Grote Reber set the pace and precedent for amateur
astronomy. He removed the "unprofessional" stigma
from the word "amateur" by showing that amateur
astronomy is a significant and formidable presence in
modern studies of the sky.

How did he do that? Here is Reber's fascinating story...

What's in *your* backyard?

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

--
Are you sleeping?
Stars are waiting,
Shining high they wait for you.

Are you looking?
Stars are soaring,
Flashing, twinkling just for you.

Indelibly yours,
Paine http://www.savethechildren.org/
