Hi everyone! My name is Peter, and I am a sophomore at Vanderbilt. I am currently planning on majoring in Economics and minoring in Psychology and English. I am really looking forward to this class and learning more about astronomy.
Also, I like photography, so here is a picture I took of some penguins one time. You can see some of my other pictures here if you want.
Hello everyone!
My name is Michael Dobson and I am a junior Computer Engineer from Ridgefield, Connecticut. This is the first astronomy class I have taken at Vandy and am looking forward to learning more about the Solar System with Dr. G. Since I’m sure this is many of my classmate’s first time taking astronomy, this is a cool TED Talk that I watched to prep for the semester!
Also, the image above is a photo of me when I got the opportunity to be a bat boy for a Chicago Cubs game.
My name is Mykayla, and this is my introductory post to my astroblog. I am a first-year at Vanderbilt University, and this semester I am taking Dr. G’s ASTR 2110 “Solar Systems” class. I am excited about this blog, as I am obsessed with the heavens and this gives me an outlet to talk about astronomy topics that make me happy. I am hoping to also learn new things as I do research for my posts. Hopefully readers will enjoy this blog as much as I do!
As you have probably noticed by the scriptures I included on the home page, I believe God intentionally and masterfully designed and created the heavens and the earth. I love studying the mysteries of His creation. It is so amazing that we have brains that allow us to make these kinds of discoveries. He could have made the universe boring, and made us oblivious to it, but He made it full of majesty, beauty, power, and wonder. And He made us aware of it, planting a divine curiosity within us! How amazing and gracious! Come along with me as I learn more about the universe, and in turn, its Designer.
My name is Ally Worthington and I’m a junior at Vanderbilt studying math and economics. I am a competitive horseback rider (see above!) and I love cooking. My favorite dish to make is this pasta. I am looking forward to learning more astronomy through this course.
Hello everyone! My name is Olivia and I’m a first-year planning on majoring in Political Science with a potential minor in Sociology. I’ve always loved space and I am super excited to deepen my understanding of astronomy in this class! Here is a link to one of my favorite Star Wars characters, Shaak Ti.

Hello Everyone,
My name is Lorenz Chen, and I am a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences. I am pursuing a psychology degree, but mostly just trying to graduate on time. Besides the occasional Veritasium video, I do not have much exposure to astronomy, so I hope I learn a lot this semester. I am an avid car enthusiast, so on the off chance someone is very well connected and wants to purchase this car for me, please let me know!
Hi I’m Evan from Chicago IL. I’m studying HOD & Econ and am very eager to learn more about the solar system in this class. Here is a picture of me and my brother in Paris because I like to travel, and a hyperlink to vandy’s website because I love my school.
Hi guys! This is my intro post for my blog, “Reigen’s Guide to the Galaxy.” My name is Brian though, not Reigen. I’m a junior majoring in Mechanical Engineering, and I’m looking forward to blogging about space. Here’s a picture of me writing this blog post. And here’s a link to some coolmathgames.
