One of the hardest things for astronomers to do is share their knowledge and experience with other like-minded people. We're all so scattered over the continent. The advent of the Internet and blogs such as this have gone a long way towards connecting people with an interest in space and astronomy. Still, you have to look all around the Internet for the information you want.
I've done something about it.
AstroShorts is my contribution to the community of space and astronomy enthusiasts. Think "YouTube" for astronomers and you'll be pretty close to the concept envisioned for AstroShorts. It's free for people to view, share and upload astronomy and space related video. Unlike other web-based video sites, this one is devoted to just space and astronomy. Now, people will have just one place they can go to find out what's happening in the night sky, what to look for in a telescope, tips on astrophotograpy and so on. If you are an astronomer, consider doing a video and upload it to share with others.
Clear Skies!
