Und alt geworden lege auf der Insel an,
reich an dem, was du auf deiner Fahrt gewannst,
doch hoffe nicht, dass Ithaka dir Reichtum gäbe

À propos full of adventures ... : At times, astronomical matters interfere and one or the other opinionated note materializes, mainly addressing dilettanti del cielo. Many contributions can be accessed via an ADS/SciX query.
Shorter and semi-popular expositions that did not make it to ADS are collected in the Stellar Marginalia closet. The texts therein fit in well with the motto stumbled over at Scientist Sees Squirrel: Seldom original. Often wrong. Occasionally interesting. In case of too obvious and/or serious blunders though, more thoroughly educated readers are encouraged to elucidate the author addressing his firstname at familyname dot confederatio helvetica mailbox.
Ergo Perit Coelum is a collection of pictures, mostly taken by the author, mostly around Switzerland – particularly interesting impressions may also be adopted from other sources – to draw attention to the increasingly corrupted state of the (night-)sky.
