Astrophysics in the 21st Century.

INTRODUCTION: Consider this to be an educational exploration in a Universe that Humankind is just beginning to really see for the first time.

May it be an enlightening experience for you. May it enhance your knowledge. May it start to open the door to genuine wisdom --- wisdom about what it all is and why.

Enjoy your visit here and, if you care to do so, consider it to be your home away from home --- far away from home, in the deepest reaches of the Universe.

Yes, you will find it to be serious science, but you will also find it willing to probe the human imagination in ways not often encountered.

It is hoped you will find this to be an interesting experience. May it also give you insight. May it also give you the incentive to discover more, much more.

Consider it to possibly be the beginning of the first real glimmer of intelligence for this new and untried species that finds itself on the threshold of space. And yes, we may be "too soon from the caves --- too far from the stars," but it is a beginning.
