Beginning Astronomy

I have a two-hour lecture coming up after which I have immediately to dash to the airport in order to embark on a trip to a foreign country, so in lieu of a proper post here is a nice cartoon I saw on Mastodon.

The first panel shows a parent-teacher conference ("School Parents' Night") where a teacher is giving a girl's parents a failing F grade for their daughter. The second panel shows an "Astronomy Conference" where the same girl, now an adult, is being awarded a medal for her work.

This also allowed me to check whether the embed facility works, which it seems to do. This actually gives me an idea about how to speed up my weekend updates, which I might try out on Saturday.
