When I Look at the Stars...

The FirstLight Astronomy Club takes its name from the term "first light," which is the moment a new telescope first opens itself up to the universe. This is what we hope happens here: that young people will open up their hearts and minds, with others, to the beauties of the creation.

At this site you will find the activity-minded, community serving club stuff. But also there is a section for Ritter's classes at TVHS. And finally there is a place for the 200+ articles Ritter has written over the last 10 years.

Have fun!!!
