All of the Above: The Lowdown on the High Up

This is one of three websites containing short essays I have written about astronomy. The present site describes and explains various astronomical phenomena and events. The two others are: Philosophical Astronomy , which takes a more theoretical look at the subject, and SkyMarks , a compilation of stargazing columns that appeared monthly for a couple of years in the New Haven Register . And here is a list of all of my publications on astronomy. Enjoy, and clear skies! -- Joel
