is it bad that i feel proud after reading this opening phrase from a blog post by professional astronomer peter coles?
"I started thinking about the analogy between astronomy and pornography after seeing a hilarious blog post by Amanda Bauer..."
astropixie: because astronomy is the pornography of science
wait, what?
i dont know.... back to work.

I've always wondered about you people who peer thru telescopes! =0)
Yesterday I saw the exhibition "first light" in huis marseille in Amsterdam. There's nothing better than a very high quality print of two meters long, with a 27000 pixel resolution of the center of the milky way :-)

Astronomy exists because of porn. Advancements imaging technology are driven mostly by porn & secondly by defense. The 1st telescopes were invented for porn.
Someone has made a comparison between merging galaxies and sex:

So what if I enjoy looking at heavenly bodies through my telescope!
I like heavenly bodies that you can see with your naked eye!
