![[Me!]](http://www.richardbell.net//Images/rbell.jpg)
My ultimate goal is to get a Ph.D. in Astrophysics and do what I love
and get paid for it. My main area of interest is searching for
extrasolar planets. I would very much like to be the first person in
history to actually discover an Earth-like planet orbiting another
star. Some of my other interests are hiking, biking, reading, writing,
martial arts, playing pool, and surfing the internet.
In 1994, I joined the Kalamazoo Astronomical Society, one of the oldest
and largest clubs in Michigan. After a year as a regular member I
was elected to six consecutive terms as the Newsletter Editor and
another six terms as President. Aside from publishing the monthly
newsletter, I created and
maintain the KAS web site.
The purpose of this page is to share my interests with you, especially
ASTRONOMY. Carl Sagan once said when you love something so much you
have to share it with someone. I hope your visit to my "Rest Stop on
the Information Superhighway" is an enjoyable and educational
experience.

Peak National Observatory is located 56 miles southwest of Tucson,
Arizona on the Tohono O'odham Nation reservation. The largest
observatory visible in the image above contains the Mayall 4 meter
telescope, which is the largest instrument on the mountain. I
took this picture on Monday, May 21, 2001.
