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.

"average person knows 3 astrophysics things" actualy just statistical error. average person knows 1 astrophysics thing. Astrophysics Georg, who lives in space and knows 10,000 astrophysics things, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
bro i can’t come to the phone right now, neptune has a moon that shines like a star.

Here's a reminder to stop shortening the James Webb Space Telescope's name to "James Webb" and instead use "JWST".
"A lot of us would appreciate it if people didn't refer to the JWST as just "James Webb". He does not deserve to have his name associated with the praise the telescope receives. He didn't do these things. What he did do was awful. I only wanna hear sentences in which "James Webb" is the subject when they're about what he did. Otherwise it erases everything that we fight to bring awareness to. All we see when people do this is praise for a man who brought so much pain to the community. It feels like people are ignoring the fight to rename it and it legitimises NASA's name choice and justifies their horrible treatment of those who spoke up. So please consider using the full name, JWST or other alternative names that have been suggested."
from this post:
if you ever feel like you're not "smart enough" for STEM or didn't do that great in school, i just wanna let you know that i failed algebra 2 THREE TIMES and dropped my high school physics class the FIRST WEEK...
and NASA chose me to student research with them.
so what i'm trying to say is that STEM is for EVERYONE. if school wasn't the easiest for you and you're not the strongest in math, don't let that stop you from pursuing STEM. working hard for goals makes you a great scientist.
screw that stereotype that all STEM majors are geniuses who were building robots and knew how to work a microscope at 3 years old.
STEM IS FOR EVERYONE! BECOME A FREAKING SCIENTIST! YOU CAN DO IT!
