The telescope sounds cool too! An 8.5 meter mirror?! And it’s designed to be able to recoat it over time!

Store the memory of this wonderful milestone in your life where you can reflect on a life well spent and be embedded in the feeling of belonging to a loving family. That shit is GOLD and will protect your mental health like a Patronus Charm from Harry Potter.

RememberTheApollo_, 7 miesięcy temu w [Eric Berger] Seeing this eclipse is probably the highest-reward, lowest-effort thing one can do in life

I can imagine the traffic jams anywhere along the path of totality. It’s gonna be a mess. We already booked a place in the path, but it’s in the sticks and I’m not looking forward to the lengthy drive back to civilization.
