Ever wondered if there is life outside the earth? Do aliens or extra-terrestrial beings really exist? How do stars look like at close distance? What would it be like to live in Mars and stroll on the moon?

Why not study astronomy to answer these questions? I'm sure most of you out there have dreamed of becoming an astronauts or astronomer one day. Having been raised in the generation of "Star Wars," and "Startrek," many people of my age, and yours as well, have sure wondered at least once in their lives on the ways of exploring the universe. The dream of conquering the vast, unknown realm started with simple star gazing and wildlife night camping -- wishing on each falling star our eyes would catch. The wonders of the world -- at least, outside our world -- are great sources of much fascination and dreaming.

Come primary and secondary school, we were all the more exposed to the mystery of the universe. We treated our Science subjects with much interest and liking mostly because of discussions on the solar system and what lies beyond it. Slowly, we were introduced to the magical world of astronomy.

Astronomy mainly deals with planets, stars, comets, systems, and galaxies. It is also the study of phenomena happening outside the Earth's atmosphere, outside of the world we know. It is also regarded by others as an attempt to fully discover and fathom the formation, definitive evolution, and development of the universe. This science is one of the oldest known disciplines to have called as science. The ancient Greeks were the first one who dared study and discover the realm outside our world. They devised and practiced their own scientific methodology and observation techniques to unravel the entities beyond the sky we see here on earth. Through time, ambitious and daredevil amateur astronomers have greatly contributed to the many important astronomical discoveries that, in turn, have served as foundations of what astronomy is nowadays.

In its childhood years, astronomy was limited only to observing and predicting the activities of the outside world through the naked eyes. Aristotle's cosmic explanation was the first to somehow shed the light on the mysteries of the universe. His proposition that the earth is the center of the universe and all others are moving around it was the first to be accepted as true and valid. For hundreds of years, millions have subscribed to this theory and most of the further studies undertaken were hinged on it. It was not until the *Renaissance period* that a more sound explanation became available. Nicolaus Copernicus came up with the heliocentric model of the solar system. His proposition argued that the sun, and not the earth as claimed by Aristotle, is the center of the universe. Albeit his proposition generated much opposition, he was staunchly defended by Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler. Galileo even added the innovation of using telescopes to enhance his observations. Kepler, on the other hand, was the first to devise a system, which described correctly the details of the motion of the planets with the Sun at the center.

These are just some of the basic knowledge we learned about astronomy. For some circumstances beyond control, our quest to further study the universe took a halt when we entered college and focused on our respective fields of interests. But it is never too late to rekindle an old passion. Once an astronomy enthusiast, always an astronomy enthusiast. I, for one, had some sort of reunion with my childhood fascination about the world outside our world. I was actually surprised to find out for myself that there are many ideas and concepts on astronomy that I still don't understand that well. Without second thought, I browsed through the internet and did some self-studying. I even came across to an online college course on astronomy.

Airport Parking at LAX just got easier.
Greg Bessoni
Whether your flying out of LAX for business or leisure, we all know how parking at Los Angeles International Airport can frustrate any human being. The lack of space, the price, the thought of your car being at an unsafe, insecure lot. As a frequent flyer myself, I understand that the person who only travelers maybe twice a year or 20 times year, the same holds true. Airport Parking is the toughest part of the trip. I have compiled a list of reason why it is extremely advantageous to “reserve” your airport parking before your trip out of LAX Airport.

Reason 1: You will save money. The website I use is www.parkingaccess.com. They negotiate lower rates from the parking facility and offer them to you. You book online by making a deposit of the 1st day of parking, plus a small convenience fee. The 1 day of pakring is then deducted from the total bill when you exit the facility. Parkingaccess.com provides you with a total quoate as well. For instance, if you're planning a trip for 7 days, parkingaccess.com will quote you 7 days, but only require the first day to be paid online. When you leave the facility, you'll be responsible for only the remainder, or 6 days of parking.

Reason 2: You will save time. When you reserve airport parking, you know exactly where you are parking and that you have a guaranteed space. Unlike on-airport parking, where you drive up and down the rows looking for a space, the facilities that parkingaccess.com works with guarantee your space and direct you to it.

Reason 3: You car is safe and secure. Parkingaccess.com does a fabulous job making sure the parking facilities they work with; live up to the highest standards of customer service and security. Facilities are fenced, lighted, and open 24/7.

Reason 4: Never get lost again. After making your reservation, parkingaccess.com provides you with a map and directions that you can easily print out and bring with you on your way to the airport. We've all been there trying to find a facility a friend or colleague told you about and waste 20-30 minutes searching for it.

Reason 5: Customer Satisfaction. Unlike on-airport parking, where you wait and wait for a shuttle bus to come pick you up, parkingaccess.com parking facilities either valet your car, or follow you to your car when you enter the lot. The shuttle bus drivers will even help you with your luggage and drive you immediately to your terminal, FREE of charge.

If only to look through the site to find information about the parking options at LAX, I highly suggest you visit the site before your next trip. parkingaccess.com will also assist you with any questions by emailing them at care@parkingaccess.com Your trip starts and ends with parking, why not make it an experience you will remember, not dread to do again the next trip you make.
