John William's interest in astronomy began while spending an autumn night with his grandmother. Upon looking out the window, he noticed a blurry spot in the sky. He studied some books at the library and decided, correctly, that it was the Great Nebula in Orion. He was hooked. As a pre-teen and teenager, John spent countless winter nights shivering in his families backyard in Kansas exploring the night sky with a small telescope. Calculus gave him a reality-check in college, but he switched gears to becoming a reporter of science, sharing knowledge through writing (another love). John has published articles in Astronomy, Earth, and other technical journals. He also served as a contributing editor to Final Frontier reporting on the Galileo mission, Voyager's last light, and the discovery of lightning at Venus with Pioneer Venus. Currently Space Imaging's webmaster, he drools over amazing images of Earth and I still use the same telescope to explore the dark skies with his two children in the mountains near Golden, Colorado.
