Fall 2008
Hi everyone! Soon it will be the start of a new academic year and I am very excited about teaching again. I have had a wonderful year off that was full of many rewarding events and achievements. I made several trips to the Natural History Museum at the Smithsonian and also to UCLA, but for research projects that I am working on in collaboration with colleagues from these institutions. I was an invited speaker at a conference in India, which was a really outstanding conference and just an outstanding trip. I've attached an image of me from a temple within the Elora caves, which are carved into solid rock! I totally loved India. I made many other trips and did a lot of data crunching and writing, which I am still doing! I had an important paper get published in the journal Science!
I have a lot of new ideas for my Introduction to Astronomy course that I am looking forward to implementing in the fall. However, enrollment is not great and I need at least 5 more students to register for the course! Please tell all your friends to take my class. The schedule is a little odd this year since one lecture period and the lab are both on Monday, so it makes for a bit of a long day.
More in the near future!

Hi Professor Connolly,
It is real nice to hear from you again!
I am glad that you had a good year off. From reading your blog, it does sound like you had a lot of fun!! I have never gone to India... although I heard good things about it from several people.
I am very happy to hear all your accomplishments over the year. I will be looking forward to reading your paper that has been published, and will keep in touch to let you know how it went.
Lastly, I hope that enough students register for the class. I am now in Brooklyn College, and not in Kingsborough anymore. Although I am going to try and think of people that I know that are still at KCC and will tell them about the course.
I wish you lots of luck with the writing that you have left.
Keep us posted with how that goes, and how the end of your trip went!
