About Me

My photo
The Urban Astronomer
Munich, Germany
In 2005 I began writing a column for the San Francisco Waldorf School newsletter called "The Urban Astronomer." I started this blog in 2007 as a place to archive my articles and to offer additional insights on the night sky - even if you live in a big city. In 2008 I became an occasional guest on the KFOG Morning Show, and subsequently on KALW and KGO. Archived shows are posted on the blog. I now work and write in Munich, Germany, where I conduct lectures and record podcasts for the Munich Public Observatory.
