 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.
