Hi! Leave me a message!
I mostly enjoy spending time adding information to and editing scientific articles, such as:
- Galileo spacecraft
- Cassini-Huygens
- Scintillation and Scintillation counter
- Laser and List of laser types
- Inertial confinement fusion
- certain things nuclear fission and nuclear fusion related
- X-ray, Ultraviolet, Gamma rays etc.
- Sonoluminescence/Bioluminescence
- Superconductor
- many others! :)
Also, I like to add (much needed, IMHO) images to articles of a scientific nature. eg. [1]
I am strongly scientifically skeptical and as such I have little patience for pseudoscience or mysticism being inserted into legitimate rational articles on Wikipedia. It seems that this is a common occurrence on Wiki and I do my best to keep NPOV in articles where this is an issue. Though sometimes it is rather difficult!! :o)
Check out my images of light source spectra, they're oh so exciting!

The Book of Fixed Stars (Arabic: كتاب صور الكواكب kitāb suwar al-kawākib, literally The Book of the Shapes of Stars) is an astronomical text written by Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (Azophi) around 964. Following the Graeco-Arabic translation movement in the 9th century AD, the book was written in Arabic, the common language for scholars across the vast Islamic territories, although the author himself was Persian. It was an attempt to create a synthesis of the comprehensive star catalogue in Ptolemy's Almagest (books VII and VIII) with the indigenous Arabic astronomical traditions on the constellations (notably the Arabic constellation system of the Anwā'). The original manuscript no longer survives as an autograph, however, the Book of Stars has survived in later-made copies. This image from the book shows the constellation of Orion, in mirror image as if on a celestial globe, and is from a copy in the Bodleian Library dated to the 12th century AD.Ilustration credit: Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi
