I love that TIME, in a fairly technical article, feels free to use the term "bollix up", i.e. Pandora will be able to distinguish spectra lines that are "bollixed up" by motions of stellar atmospheres.

Which of these is not true?
1. Next year will feature the 100th edition of the UofA-ASU Territorial Cup
2. The Sun Devils were at one time called the Normals
3. Tempe was a 'sundown town' until the 1960's
4. The Sun Devil logo was drawn by Looney Tunes illustrator Chuck Jones

Eddington (HBO), one of the worst movies I've seen, not sure what it was trying to say about American society, if anything at all, maybe that we are crazy, confused, dumb, and violent?

Highly recommended: 'Death By Lightning' (Netflix), a 4-part miniseries on the short presidential career of James Garfield. I like most historical dramas, but this one is exceptional.
