Turns out the constellation Aquarius is the Water Bearer, not the Water Bear. So sad

@wendinoakland @NickGates @amiserabilist well he sure the hell is holding it wrong. I like the idea of the world's smallest cello

San Francisco has perpendicular parking in some steep streets, right, Wendy?

Please also remember that a plane is merely a special case of a sphere with infinite radius

+5 for Gulf of Mexico

I dunno what "finely polished mirror" they're talking about. Maybe they're talking a bathroom mirror? That mirror would be unsuitable for astronomical purposes

I've got a 47 cm diameter mirror with an error of about 20 nanometers.
My error translated to 1500 km diameter would be about 6 cm, so yeah. If you can't piss with the tall dogs, stay out of the high grass.

the Hubble mirror had 2 null testers, one all lenses, one lenses and mirrors. The latter one showed an error, the former one did not. They got lazy and said "the second null tester is screwed up". They were wrong.
