Was out filming with the telescope and first of all, I have it on the porch, which is shared with our neighbors. One of them came out and saw me with the telescope and I was like straddling it because it’s the only way I can use the viewfinder on that thing and conversation was just:
Him: uhhh-
Me: don’t
Him: -yes ma’am
And then I met our other neighbors, some drunk girls, who thought it was a /cannon/. So I put it on the Moon and was like “wanna see?” And they were about as excited as your typical 4 year olds to see the moon and when I told them they could take pictures through the eyepiece (the eyepiece I was using was a wide angle plossl) they could not have been more excited
Black hole physicists annoy me so much. They could literally say anything about what happens in a black hole and there is no good way of proving otherwise. They literally just play around with maths and make stuff up. "if you go through the ring singularity, you might come out elsewhere" "where?" "idk" like get a real job Paul
there was no women's march even remotely close to me, so i threw my own. end the gender gap in STEM! let young girls know they can be scientists!

hi are you really an astrophysicist can you tell me like your favorite facts. not in like a quiz way i just think it's a neat field. thank you !
everyone knows about how interstellar paid for simulation on what a black hole would look like but few people know how the hair animation on tangled later got used for simulations of magnetic field lines in the sun. the problem with magnetic field lines in the sun is, imagine a magnetic, which is a nice shape. now set it on fire and melt it and put it in a blender. and that's a little bit like the sun.
this was presaged some decades ago by a physicist using skills to draw simulations of magnetic field lines using the skills in drawing hair that he learned sketching models at the local nudie bar.
