I just discovered PlanetSpace today. Seeing that my neighbors Bill McCoy and Richard Godwin are members I figured I would join as well.
I see that PlanetSpace offers members the opportunity to keep a blog. However, I already have a hard enough time keeping my own blog at artsnova.com/blog/ up to date. So I will probably limit myself to posting the occasional picture here. Some will be photos of space exploration events and people, some will be of my astronomical art.
TTFN, Jim
