Saber Does The Stars: Astro Sims Gallery

Celestia planetarium software has saved my sanity on countless cloudy nights for both its accurate real-time sky display, and as a creative outlet to observe rare and/or currently spaceflight-limited events by virtually traveling across time and space. The vids and clips to this gallery and more can be found at http://www.youtube.com/@saberzastrovidz . Enjoy!

One Foot In The Trenches, One Fist In The Stars

Stephen Saber of Menace is a self-described journeyman bar band banger from Rock Island, Illinois. He's been armed with Scorpion Percussion 2B drumsticks onstage for many years of his heavy-handed metal drumming, noting that "they're consistently a great combination of balance and durability".

In his free time on a clear night, Saber can also be found unwinding under the stars with a telescope or binoculars. Having earned a Master Observer award from the Astronomical League, he is also namesake to the lunar phenomenon know as Saber's Beads.

Coincidentally, his favorite constellation is Scorpius- the Scorpion. 

Thanks to Saber for his continued support in the Midwest.
