Optical Telescope jokes
Science flies you to the moon, but religion flies you into skyscrapers.
Hubble just spotted something huge coming out of Uranus.
Sir William Herschel discovered Uranus in 1781, 200 years before you were born. How did he do that?
Astronomers got tired of watching the moon rotate around the earth for 24 hours, so they just called it a "day".
If Uranus is so gross, why do they take HD photos of it?

Well, I found my people. Nerds are underrated. It's like past midnight. I just had my night lunch (yes. it's an actual thing.). I'm about to sleep under the world's largest optical telescope with like 30 other nerds. I'm so fuckin tired, yet my spelling and grammar is mostly intact (I misspelled fucking on purpose). I got less than 5 hours of sleep yesterday and I'll try to get slightly more. I guess this is gn. Unfortunately, the sky hasn't been cooperating too well, but I'm still really enjoying it. There are people from all over the world and the US. It's pretty damn awesome.
