Thank You, Wikipedia. I Needed To Laugh For A Nice Solid 2 Minutes.

im the lil' astronomy nerd <3

"What do you know about spherical aberration?"

"when amateurs build mirrors and do it sloppily they get what's called a downturned edge, and on different radii of the mirror it focuses the light on different parts of the optical axis and it's physically impossible to ever focus a telescope; they're useless."

"Well you launched Hubble Space Telescope with a spherically aberrated mirror."

the comic of all time

I miss em <:)

Around this time back in 2018, the retirements of the Kepler and Dawn missions would have been announced or they would have already run out of fuel.

The missions are so interesting and it makes me a little nostalgic to read about. They're really important (also in terms of milestones and science) and wanted to do some tribute art + share some music I did that I named after them!

I'm not the best when it comes to music (I have no idea what I'm doing or what to do next 99.999% of the time) and I'm pretty proud of these especially, so I'm glad they've come to remind me of some pretty special missions

Also get some spacecraft nostalgia! Check out these 2009 archives of the missions <:)

Whenever I listen to Ponponpon I can't stop thinking about mr krabs screaming over that song and how i used to blast it in the shower on repeat for atleast a nice hour when I was like 10. everyone in the house could hear it and that was the one of the few songs i would listen to in the shower.

i dont know what was actually wrong with me but here i am cackling at 1 am

adding some facial features now

(i also made Dawn's bus color a little bit lighter since i had trouble with lighting because it was so dark and has no specular reflection)

we have way too many bdays going on here
