2004-10-26 [boron boy]: Astronomy.... cool. Can you explain Kepler's second law of planetary motion to me? What does it mean by "the same area in the same area in the same time"? I have also started a SETI@home wiki.

2004-10-28 [Jivo]: That sentence wasn't quite right. It should say: the same area in the same time ;) Thanks for noticing.

2005-01-21 [Sunrose]: [Law and Chaos]: do you have a classroom?

2005-01-22 [Jivo]: I don't have any students at the moment, so there isn't any need for making a classroom. Students should PM me if they would like to follow classes and then there is use for a classroom.

2005-01-22 [Sunrose]: Well..it doesn't actually work like that... :)

2005-01-23 [Jivo]: My apologies then, I'll make a classroom. Astronomy Classroom

2005-01-23 [Sunrose]: LOL but isn't this sort of your classroom? :)

2005-01-23 [Jivo]: Erm... Now I am confused. :p

2005-01-23 [Sunrose]: Erm you are the professor....and ON the department aren't there already classrooms? Or is Astronomy also a subject on it's own? (sorry if I confuse you :S)

2005-01-24 [Jivo]: Astronomy is as far as I know a department on it's own and I am the professor. But there hasn't been any interest in the subject lately, so I haven't been very active.

2005-01-24 [Sunrose]: Well I believe the department contains classrooms...I hope you at least made one of them ;) but my main concern was [Law and Chaos]....

2005-01-24 [Jivo]: If there is anything you wish to discuss maybe you should message me about it so I can help you. ;)

2005-01-24 [Sunrose]: LOL! well mainly I just want to know what he ahs done here and there's no need to go behind his back for that. If he didn't do anything, then that's just merely stating the facts ;)

2005-01-24 [Jivo]: He hasn't done anything so far, but since there aren't any students I don't think we have the right to blame him for doing nothing. If there isn't any work to commit, what can one do, except writing some articles or something. Now I come to think of it, he applied for the job about 3 months ago and was quite enthusiastic about it. But since we didn't have any students for about 3 months, I don't think it's clear for him what he should do.

2005-01-24 [Sunrose]: Yes, but the thing is: to become a teacher, you first make the classroom, then you try to get students and Then you are a teacher :)

2005-01-25 [Jivo]: Ok, then I did something wrong. I said he could be a teacher and I added his name to the page. So it's my fault. My apologies. I don't think it's correct to erase his name from this page due to a mistake I made, so do you agree that I keep his name here or do you think I should remove it?

2005-01-25 [Sunrose]: Uhm..well if I knew he was going to make something.. ;)

2005-02-27 [Shiorysm]: astronomy rules!!!

2005-03-09 [Anime Addiction]: How do I join. Astronomy is my life. I have always wanted to be an astronomer

2005-04-05 [Bookwyrm]: Hello, do we just read the information, or do we join this wiki? Reading is just fine though. Best way to learn coupled with experience.

2005-04-06 [Jivo]: You just read what you'd like to know and you can ask anything you like. You'll get answers ASAP. If you've got question about a subject which isn't covered in any of the lessons, just ask and I try to look it up somewhere and give you an explanation.

2005-04-07 [Bookwyrm]: Okay thank you very much! ^-^

2005-07-08 [wolvie!]: do I have to pay to join? Sorry if that sounds stupid but I just joined elftown yesterday ^_^

2005-07-10 [Jivo]: Nope, Elftown is completely free. :p

2005-07-15 [wolvie!]: Thank's very much!

2005-08-01 [River of Dreams]: omg!!! astronomy!!!!! obsessive compulsive disorder!!! (not really!) aaaaah!!! astronomy is my life, i know almost everything about it!! *drools* lol im so weird at times and i dont care

2005-08-02 [Jivo]: Maybe you should take up a career at NASA, although I'm not quite sure whether NASA seeks people with obsessive compulsive disorders (maybe they have a special section for that) but they DO seek people who know almost everything about astronomy! :-p

2005-08-08 [River of Dreams]: lol i dont really have OCD lol i've already taken advanced classes at school, went to camps, and subscribed to Asronomy magazine.....i dont think that there's much more that a 15-year old can do

2005-08-08 [Neya]: woh :P then you must know a lot about it ;-)

2005-08-10 [Anime Addiction]: nasa is more the engineering department, mostly, I would like to work for myself, adn then tell the world my data and get lots and lots of moola from it.

2005-08-20 [River of Dreams]: ^_^'

2007-02-20 [Imperator]: Is this department in need of a professor?

2007-09-16 [Imperator]: I'm going to take this silence as a yes...

2008-01-17 [Imperator]: I've taken over the department and all classrooms. If anyone is listening, whatever you need here can be directed towards me.

2008-01-17 [Maeve104]: Well, if I'm going to be browsing and commenting, I might as well become a student! lol. ^^ Please add my name to the list.

2008-01-18 [Imperator]: None of these classrooms have a student list on them. I actually think the whole student thing is outdated. You can just browse at will. But you know a lot about this stuff too, don't you?

2008-01-21 [Maeve104]: Yeah, I know, but I always forget bits and pieces of it as I go along, so it's nice to browse through and see what I've missed. :)

2008-01-21 [Imperator]: Perhaps you would like to help me revise some of these older classrooms? They're a little disorganized and there are some spelling issues, ect.

2008-01-22 [Maeve104]: Sure! Just lemme know which ones need the most work.

2008-01-22 [Imperator]: If you could spell check and organize the information in The Sun and the The Solar Wind, that would be really helpful.

2008-01-22 [Maeve104]: will do!
