Personal page of Peter Weilbacher

I have many personal interests most of which I do not have time to pursue. In fact, I spend lots of spare time at my old computer reading emails, newsgroups, and webpages. But I also have other hobbies:

• Reading Science Fiction novels and short-stories.
• Watching movies in the cinema and on TV at home as well as a few TV series.
• Listening to and making music ("classical").
• Building functional remote-control model ships.

For some of these and the computer stuff see the menu for links to dedicated pages.

I like reading (not sure if you can really call is reading...) Comics, especially those from Europe/Belgium:

• Asterix (of course!).
• Lucky Luke.
• Spirou and Fantasio. I like mostly the classic books written and drawn by André Franquin.
• Gaston Lagaffe (official page, seems to be down often). More about him im the great Guust Flater Index (Dutch!).
• Tin Tin (German: Tim und Struppi). Who does not like these stories?

Unfortunately, my French is not the best and I therefore read the German version. But the German publisher of the last three comic series (Carlsen) has strongly raised the prices of the "books" in the last years, so that you really have to think about it before buying them. Also, they have forbidden me to show even a few pictures of my favorite Gaston on my pages!

I work as astronomer at the Astrophysical Institute Potsdam. Here is the link to my professional website.
