Damn I was just about to make this thread and saw it in the search. I want to get into astronomy myself.

:whoa: Don’t do it breh.... I’m reading about the Physics I struggled with in HS and Uni....and the shyt is fascinating, I have a few books and I updated my telescope after the Mars view...


I wasn’t interested in astronomy or physics back then so I really struggled with the concepts and the ideas....but now I’m tracking Jupiter to see the red spot....I can’t catch it in time ever


:aicmon: Idk why they teach 16 year olds physics anyway

:dahell:...i don’t even know how my body works and these people ( IB and AP demons) want me to understand physics like Hawking

Lol I live in a duplex and one side faces a cemetary. I suppose it could be some confusion but I doubt it.

If you want to mess with telescopes you gotta get a Dobsonian, those old school telescopes on tripods they used to sell at J.C. Penny for $130 don't give you a real picture of what stuff looks like. You gotta drop like $400 or get a used one, they're usually like 35-40lbs. and just set on the ground

You sure the "bird" ain't the big booty neighbor from across the way :troll: to make sure she ain't up to no good? Don't be on that Rear Window action :ufdup:
Also, don't sleep on HS Physics:ufdup:, I know the teachers got their heads up their asses, but learning about why shyt moves, electronics, and basic waves is the how we get black engineers n techs ouchea :blessed:

Crazy I was thinking about copping a telescope I’m out near the country so I see some stars but nothing compared to when it lived in Maine for a few years when I was younger. That was back in the late 80’s and I promise there seemed like a billion stars were in the sky
