  • It’s just such a stupid idea on the face of it. Let’s get rid of the extremely durable and infinitely recyclable road surface and replace it with a fragile and unrecyclable chunk of plastic and electronics. Let’s put a million tiny solar panels in these chunks of plastic that’ll get demolished by cars instead of putting a few larger, cheaper solar panels at the side of the road




  • Live somewhere dark enough and gain pattern recognition

    Edit: This was kind of unhelpful, so I’ll also recommend Stellarium. The Big Dipper is comprised of very bright stars, and is visible in the northern hemisphere year-round, so it’s a good first constellation to learn. Once you get used to how it looks both on stellarium and in the night sky, you’ll be better equipped to extrapolate how other constellations should look in the night sky, given how they look on stellarium. Once you start building those neural pathways, it gets a lot easier.

    I realize this is basically just “git gud” but for astronomy, but it really is a matter of experience, not skill





  • I saw them say you wrote 7 entire paragraphs, so I had to unblock you for a moment and read this one. Congrats on breaking 100 today btw

    You’re the one saying it lol
