To be curious is to wonder about the unknown. What is it? How does it work? Why is it that way? Can I do it, too?

Curiosity leads to exploration, which leads to many new things. A life lived with curiosity is a rich life filled with meaning.

As a business and creative outlet, WhiteNova has been my avenue of curiosity and discovery for a number of years. My varied skills and interests have fueled this path, and WhiteNova kept adapting to my work.

The name “WhiteNova” began with a simple curiosity about the beauty of an exploding star or nova. Look at this recent image from the Webb Telescope. It’s the Tarantula Nebula, a star-forming region.

How far away are these stars? How do stars form? Why does this image have those colors? How can we find out the what, how, when, and why of what’s happening?

I am now phasing out my work and retiring to pursue other interests, but my curiosity and exploration continue on. See you out there.
