Holy hell, that was an awesome read.
Was expecting clickbait, but instead got an interesting Nitter thread about quasi-moons and the nature of asteroid hunting
I’ve developed a reflex to not click on clickbait. Then I saw all these comments… Maybe I’ll get over myself and click it later.
Same here - and then I start wondering if all the positive comments are just part of the bait. I need to be less suspicious!
Anyway, I clicked and it was worth it - but can you trust me?? ;-)
It’s worth it. I avoid clickbait and Twitter, yet even with those two strikes, it was a homerun.
Ok that was much more entertaining than I expected.
Do you know that when you look at a planet and you see that light, that planet’s not even there? That’s just a light. That’s just your neighbor shining a flashlight right into your yard looking for 'coons, and he says “What are you doing in my back yard? …With that flashlight?”
And I told him “I’m shining in the window so I can teach your son about the universe”.
He said, “Get out of my yard, and why are you communicating to my son? Why are you in all black, behind my bushes, shining a light into my house?”
And I said, “I’m teaching your son about the universe! I’m shining a light right in there and exploring his room, as he’s looking out and exploring the universe. I turn the light off and I see your son go to bed, and I turn the light back on and I do swirls on his wall like a comet’s tail.
I do this every night with your son.”
JFC, that was awesome.
