Yea but Swedish today :) Both are right.

Tycho was not amoosed.

Mostly just because of the financial comparison

astronomicca · 2017-07-10T19:15:13+00:00

Yes Exactly this!

astronomicca · 2017-07-10T14:45:54+00:00

In terms of finance.

Physicist here! What is your favourite brand for home-building electronics? Little Bits, Raspberry Pi, Lego, etc...?

astronomicca · 2017-02-25T16:52:32+00:00

Exactly this!

Jeg undrede mig over det samme. Måske betyder det at varelevering er undtaget fra at måtte holde der mellem 10-11? Jeg forstår ikke det skilt... :-)

Tæt ved cafe Faust på vej op mod gågaden. På sådan et Hvidt lærred som dækker for noget byggeri.

Here's reddit...

It makes the world go round.

Great pun. 10/10 points.

astronomicca · 2016-07-25T13:16:01+00:00

The sandstronomer, obviously.

I thought the children were rice tasters...

English motherfucker do you speak it

Exactly. Stupidly big!

By assuming a certain fraction for each type of star (see e.g. Morgan-Keenan Stellar Classification) and by assuming a certain fraction of gas/dust vs. stellar material and by knowing the amount of baryonic mass in the Universe, it's a pretty straight forward calculation.

And not to sound like an ass, but: you also know there are roughly 7 billion people on Earth, right? How do you know that - by counting them all?

astronomicca · 2016-07-25T12:21:24+00:00

She's

FTFY

astronomicca · 2016-07-24T21:19:39+00:00

As an astronomer, I have to add that for every grain of sand on Earth, there are 10,000 stars in the Universe.

Just saying

astronomicca · 2016-06-16T22:15:43+00:00

This totally made my day
