My dear friends,

Portugal, finishing my graduation in astronomy and I've a lot of interests
about the astronomy divulgation. I coordinate The Planetary Society in my
country and I was one of the co-founders of a portuguese astronomy
organization.

scientific and non-scientific community worldwide and so I invite you to
participate at some of our projects.
I look forward to partipate further in this mailing, where I'm
sure I'm gonna learn a lot!

A personal note: let me teel you I've a great admiratio for the
President of SSI, Prof. Freeman Dysonm one of the great Men of our Century

"I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to
have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore and diverting myself in
now and then finding a smoother pebble on a prettier shell than ordinary,
whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."

Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727)
