  My physics teacher was a hobbyist astronomer, on the morning of my birthday I got to watch mercy sun transit through his telescope.

      No, that’s not related to astronomy

  Haha I wish being an astronomer involved staring at the sky instead of staring into a computer screen…

    Unfortunately, I can. 30% of Americans are actively antiscience/reality and they for sure enforce it on their kids. Another 40% honestly don’t give a fuck and again show that apathy to their kids. Leaves 30% who care but doesn’t exclude those who are limited by socioeconomics.

    You talk to people and realize their parents never drove them out of the light pollution late at night to see a meteor shower or comet pass by never showed them any of the constellations, etc. Applies to all science really but astronomy is often put on the wayside even more than others because a lot of people really aren’t curious about space anymore.

    ‘staring into space’ for the kid could also mean zoning out/not paying attention

    I think they mean “staring into space” as in “staring into the distance during class”

  I don’t think the author have any idea at all about what astronomers actually do…

  Perspective is everything, perception is reality.

    You’re not entirely wrong, but it’s still a slap in the face to all the progress that has been made int he last 50 years for women in stem recognition.

  They always say insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results yet we respect meteorologist about how the weather would be everyday and plan our days accordingly. Science is not just towards everything. System is rigged :-p

  My weird ass gifts have kept me from dying, I guess. I’m just waiting for my medal now.
