The below poem by Walt Whitman kind of makes me chuckle a bit. Much of science can seem to be dry if presented solely in the form of numbers and charts and diagrams. To a poet, it may seem kind of dry and without romance. But, really, it is all romantic. All […]
The Russian astronomer Wilhelm Struve, full name: Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von Struve, (1793-1864) completed 272 astronomical works and fathered a grand total of 18 children.
That’s a lot of baby von Struves! Some of his most recognized observations were of double stars. He carried on the work begun by William Herschel, who discovered that […]
I was just reading more about Flammarion (1842-1945), the French astronomer wood-cut picture guy. He wrote lots of books and was a Spiritualist (meaning he believed in other worlds of spirits and ghosts). He lived during the peak popularity of the Spiritualist movement.
I’m not going to name any names but some astronomers are […]
No, Johnny, that’s called ALCHEMY, not astronomy!
Of course, now Johnny realizes that what some scientists call “theory” could actually better be categorized as wishful thinking.
Spinach into ice cream…
well, why not, of course it could be done…..IN THEORY!
Poor, poor, Johnny. He learns his life lessons the hard way.
At least he didn’t confuse astrology with astronomy, […]
That is the plant cell of the venus fly trap. Be careful–if you look too long, it’ll eat your eye out.
Good guess….but, nooooo prize for you, Johnny, it is NOT hole-y air, but holy water. Miraculous holy water! Praise the Lord, the salt it risen be.

Poor, poor Johnny. He isn’t gonna […]

Anyway, I saw this article today in my newsreader. Here’s the gist:
People that night were doing something many hadn’t done for a long
time: They were looking up at the sky, and […]
This post will be of particular interest to all of the werewolves out there because, let’s face it, the Moon makes their lives somewhat inconvenient. It must be very hard to have to always clear your calendar on that one day in the month the Moon is full. Blue Moons are particularly irritating, […]
After ordering Sean Carroll’s Dark Matter course, I’ve become a real fan of The Teaching Company. This company produces quality courses that are definitely worth your time.
Buying them can put some strain on your wallet though. Fortunately however they periodically put the courses on sale, and these sales can really save you a […]
As prospective grad student myself, I read with great interest Sean’s post offering advice on how to be a good one.
If I had to concentrate on a single useful piece of advice for grad students, it would be: Take the initiative. The deep truth of grad school is that the transition from undergrad to grad […]
