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.

THE KEY TO EFFECTIVE WEB SITE DESIGN by Breal Web Design ************************************************************ The key to effective web site design is good planning. Without planning and organisation, you will end up with chaos. Once you have a design plan, content is the next consideration. This applies equally to new and existing web sites.

To create your plan for a new or existing site, sit down and consider what your site will achieve. Get out a piece of paper and a pen, draw a circle in the middle and mark it 'home'. Draw boxes connected by lines radiating out from the centre circle and mark them with each of the main areas your site will cover. Don't forget a site map if your site has more than 8 or 9 pages. Repeat this process for each secondary circle until you've planned your site. If you've already got a site, do this exercise and include every page on the web site.

Good navigation is vital and poor navigation leads to visitor frustration. Once you've created your plan, you can create logical navigational links. Make up to 8 main navigational links to use on all pages of your site. You don't want to confuse your site visitors with too many options. You can offer more choices later, as your customers drill down into your site.

If you have lots of links, then consider creating pages that list each group of links instead. For example, Click Art Gallery, (www.clickart-gallery.com) has hundreds of pages within the site, but only 8 main links. Two of the main links are to sub navigation pages. The first is an 'arts' page. This lists all the pages on the site only relating to the displayed artworks. The second is a 'services' page that lists all the extra services on the site.

Once your navigation is taken care of, it's time to focus on content. Common questions we hear are, how much information should I put on a page and how big is a web page?

The size of a web page, and therefore the content are dependent on the type of information being provided. However, many site visitors don't want to read a condensed version of 'War and Peace' on a single page. See if you can logically break the content down into easy to read chunks.

Unless your site is an art gallery, keep images to a minimum. Try using simple 16 colour GIF images as they're small and fast loading.

The following list gives you a few good design tips to consider when preparing your web site content.

-> Do make your text easy to read. -> Do use short sentences. -> Do break up your text into paragraphs. -> Do use bullets and lists to make your point. -> Create textual variation with heading size and colour but don't make your text too small to read easily. -> Be consistent - consistency creates a professional image. -> Don't use fancy fonts except as 16 colour GIFs as your masterpiece may not display correctly on every browser. -> Don't use weird text colour/background colour combinations. -> Stick to one colour for each font type (eg Headings - blue, sub headings - teal, main text - black) -> Don't be too adventurous with changing hyperlink colours. Many people, especially newbies, expect blue, underlined links. -> Leave white space to create a 'clean' looking design. -> Ask two or three friends (who's opinions you value) how they find your site navigation and layout.

You can also experiment with cascading style sheets (CSS) and bold, italics or even highlighted words and phrases. For example, this code inserted into your document will create a yellow highlight over the word 'Highlight'. Highlight

All the preparation may seem like a whole lot of hard work, but it will pay off. Over the lifetime of your web site, good layout design and navigation allow your site to grow without creating you massive headaches.
