Who is the Astronomer?
Vegard Rekaa's astronomical alter ego, where he gets to live out his dream: To enlist the whole world in the coolest hobby in the universe: Astronomy.
What does Astronomen do and for whom?
The astronomer teaches beginner space enthusiasts how to use a telescope, and helps those who don't know EVERYTHING about optics, mechanics and astrophysics to choose a telescope that suits them best.
Why do you think people are interested in other planets?
Other planets teach us something about our own world. By getting to know the similarities, and not least the strange differences, we better understand our place in space. And what it takes for life to develop on a planet.
