She has not elaborated. 😅

Her telescope is called SEARCHER but she refuses to explain if it’s an acronym.

BTW, SHE ASKED WHERE SHE SHOULD PUT HER HYPOTHETICAL SCHOOL SCIENCE PROJECT TELESCOPE, I DID NOT FORCE THIS CONVERSATION ON HER.

‘fraid so.

@aussiastronomer.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 11:51 PM

Great, I'll let her know.

My daughter would like you to know that Lagrange points are now officially known as ‘Labadahbadala points’ because that’s what she hears when I describe them to her.

Umm telling the same story again for the third time but with a more cartoonishly evil villain team, stupider hijinks, and more romance subplots.

They didn't believe us when we said Mighty Ducks 3 was bad. It's bad.

After an extremely busy and exhausting day for the whole family we have declared this rainy Sunday to be henceforth known as ***COUCH DAY*** and only bodily functions or emergencies shall be allowed to displace one from one’s comfortable couch+blanket+cat nest.

WHAT TIME IS IT IN ROME. 👀

What did you enjoy? I want to hear about the things I missed while in the exhibit!

@aussiastronomer.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 12:02 AM

5000 people through our exhibit at JPL Open House today and I stamped most of their passports for an interstellar journey to six of the most interesting nearby exoplanets!

It’s Friday night. I’ve done enough this week. You’ve done enough this week.

There’s no baseball today?!

If they stream that execution live (a) expect idiots to spread the footage all over the internet, and (b) everything is training material now so expect AI to have it too.

Also somehow in that example the first ‘melon’ is said twice as fast as the second ‘melon’?

Okay how in the Hello Dolly is everyone else pronouncing raspberry.

A cheat card for learning musical note durations and timing which seems to indicate that raspberry has four syllables?!
