Astronomy is such an insane field of science because wdym we can look at planets billions of km away and be able to deduce what it’s made from like wtff
#Living with two astronomy majors is fun#Last spring when they were both taking an observational astrophysics class I’d regularly come home to conversations that sounded like#‘BLAST! The winds unbalanced our azimuthal telescope calibrations and now we can’t tell whether M16 is a torment nexus galaxy or not!#We must drive out to THE OBSERVATORY and collect more data or the entire sidereal space time continuum will collapse!’#And then they’d get in the car and fuck off to some wizard tower ass looking telescope in the middle the dark woods an hour south#I’d wait for them safely ensconced in the glow of our house until they returned in the dead of wintry night.#They’d come through the front door cloaked in the a fathomless weariness and I’d ask them ‘how was The Void did you have fun at The Void?’#And although their gaze would meet mine their eyes I could see were… elsewhere.#Swimming with the light ripped from the core of now dead stars and hurled screaming through space and time#and I’d know they could proffer me no answer that I- unitiniated into their order as I was- could ever understand#I had not seen the face of the universe laid bare as they had#I could never know#Anyways. Very fun to know people who have different skillsets and areas of expertise form me. Astronomy seems cool :D
