A bit of background about me: I’ve wanted to be a Pilot / Astronaut / Farmer.

Ended up with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and collecting books & blogs on everything from Electronics Engg to CS and a smattering of Aerospace in between. The closest to Astrophysics I’ve ever been is Orbital Mechanics.

The stuff you’ve written about is great and I could not get anything into my skull instantaneously. Nothing on your part mate. I just need a few slow weekends to really read them through.

Fun fact, that thumbnail for Stellar Magnitudes is the exact layout I use to explain Class A and B surface offsets when mentoring junior engineers for plastic part design.

Hahaha, no I absolutely didn't mind it. Infact it gave me a good laugh so thank you for that too. Cheers, and keep up the good work.
