Big ass-telescopes can only see Uranus.
My partner had to get a tiny one just to locate the details
Lmao that scope is backwards
That's a sweet ass-telescope
Where's the ass?
At the bottom
Knowing how astronomers typically name these things that could legitimately be the actual name for this telescope.
I came here to voice this exact thought and now I don't know whether that makes me unoriginal or if it just means that astronomers are crazy.
Shout out to Kitt Peak! This place is semi open to the public and has a nice picnic area.
I'm not sure if they still do it or not but they had a tie that would let you look through a 36" telescope. After the tie you had to drive down the mountain with out any headlights.

The sun was invented by big sunscreen in the 20's.
The fact that so many plants have adapted to thrive on it in only 100 years, is nothing short of amazing.
Lol, look what a tiny-ass mirror even big-ass solar telescopes need:

Always wanted to see a BAT
So it's a B.A.T. signal detector? 🤪🦇
