You call it dumbing down science; I call it appealing to a new audience - young people who hadn't otherwise been curious about cosmology.

A show about astronomy on network TV? That's not a bad thing..

Would it be such a bad thing if we translated Shakespeare's works to modern English so they would be more accessible to the youth? Come to think of it most of the classics are could use an update to make them more appealing.

Unfortunately, that's actually a thing, emoji and all. Google "OMG Shakespear" and cringe like I did.

I once stared longingly into the night sky and saw...Uranus.

What did you make of it?

Needed bleaching.

Had a college space project that involved a presentation in front of the class. My friend did that planet and had the class laughing as he tried to pronounce it. First he said Urine-Us then switched to Your-Anus that only succeeded in more laughter.

This week there were many stars visible and I think they all still are there.
