(Last updated 2013-04-03.)

I am mostly interested in making scientifically important observations, like timing occultations of or by Solar System bodies and measuring variable stars.

I am also interested in citizen science projects and participate in some of them, like Galaxy Zoo.

I have been an amateur astronomer since 1975 and worked at the European Space agency's (ESA) technical centre in Holland, ESTEC , on the ARISTOTELES mission, an earth gravity mapping mission.

Approximate coordinates: 55°20 N, 10°20 E

comment Amount of 2 amperage
Better always use "current" instead of "amperage", especially on a physics site.

@shk: do you need to add i1 and i2 and reduce to the shortest form?

How about some more specific tags? Like particle-radiation, hadron, baryon, neutron?

I see no such link, only "No preview available". I may be geographically challenged.

It is at books.google.com/…, but how can the content be viewed?
