I appreciate that this lid is biodegradable but it could at least wait until I finish my coffee.

This is a good month to find M30 in Capricornus, the decent little globular cluster you failed to get during the Messier Marathon in March because you ran out of coffee, fell asleep, froze to death, or went looking for an all-night diner that has pancakes. 🔭

I'm stumped. I've studied the various crowd scenes and the montage of little headshots in the innocence network shot. Still stumped.

I should predict precisely when Betelgeuse will blow up. Then we gather and await the blessed event. If it doesn't happen I'll just re-predict. It's no worse offer than those made by apocalyptic preachers and the rapture, plus it could actually happen. Also there will be snacks and beverages. 🔭

I thought my solar app showed a giant sunspot but it was chocolate on my phone. That cookie had some major flux.

Wil Wheaton. At the JPL Curiosity landing. He hung out with us for the whole day, long enough for the fan-boy thing to wear off and then he was just one of us geeks.
