Still hard to believe after nearly 50 years, there are still idiots out there who believed that when “Star Wars” was originally released in the theaters in May 1977, it was called “Episode IV: A New Hope”.

I was never fortunate to meet the man, but both of my astronomy clubs have used his eyepieces for decades.
I’m fortunate to have one of the original 11mm 2” Naglers in my possession.
Thank you for all you did for astronomy Al. We salute you.

If @philplait.bsky.social wants to do a “Bad Astronomy” about a current TV show, he should do tonight‘s episode of 9-1-1. This is so technologically and astronomically ridiculous, all they need is Fonzi on skis jumping over a shark.
ABC/Disney obviously does not know what a technical advisor means.

I have no idea who/what is a bad bunny, so obviously I won’t be watching.

How am I supposed to work the rest of the day with this amazing news that Taylor & Travis got engaged!
I’m just waiting for a call that they want me to be their wedding photographer, so I can turn them down, then Taylor will write a song about me. 😁

“So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.”
Well, that 584 million mile trip went a little faster this time.
Sigh.

Having a rough time here too.
I hate to quote a line from a Star Trek movie, but I feel like Kirk did when he was talking to Carol Marcus in Wrath of Khan.
“How do I feel? Old... worn out.”
Also tired, and worthless/useless.
Getting older while being alone sucks. For the most part.

I'm having a rough go of it lately, and have been thinking: everyone is going through something, and you have no idea what it is, or how it's affecting them.
Quote post this is if you're going through something, and maybe we'll all realize that we aren't as alone as we feel right now.
