About Me

My photo
Bucky Harris
This blog feeds and feeds on my fascination with extrasolar planets. Although I have no graduate training in astronomy, I'm a proficient reader and researcher, with a PhD in English to prove it. I've worked for many years as a writer and editor of scientific, technical, and medical articles. You can usually trust me to admit it when I don't know what I'm talking about.
