My journey as an amateur astronomer began with a simple telescope, but over time it has evolved into a deeper fascination with the universe. I’ve learned to identify constellations, track the phases of the moon, and follow the paths of comets and asteroids. I’ve spent hours in quiet solitude on clear nights, marveling at the details of the planets, from the swirling clouds of Jupiter to the faint rings of Saturn. Each observation is a reminder of how vast and mysterious the universe is, yet how much we can learn through observation and study.
