Pythagoras started something when he said the world is round.
He should have kept his theories to himself.
But it probably is round.
It probably is, but, life is full of probabilities but one should not go round highlighting them
I didn’t know that. I thought he was just famous for “The squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides”

Didn’t he also say something about a land downunder and Vegemite sandwiches.

Enough!
This is getting far too highbrow!
I do believe that Archimedes found his in the bath, not a very sensible place to keep your telescope but what do I know?

There’s an excellent book by the late Sir Patrick Moore and the increasingly hairy Brian May called Bang! Tremendous photos.
(Funnily enough I had a client also called Brian May. As part of one piece of work for this client I needed to fly out to Chicago. Incredibly, as we got off the plane I saw the other, slightly more famous, Brian May get off my flight from first class. How strange.)

I find its use a little unsettling as well.
I remember seeing Haleys comet a few years back, it was actually visible clearly for atg least 2 days

Yet another disappointing astronomical event.
I hope the total solar eclipse on 22 July 2028 will be better (if I survive until then)
Late edit:
I’m hoping to see the solar eclipse in Iceland in August this year. Knowing my luck, it will be pouring with rain and end up not seeing anything.

Is that organised by the supermarket? 
I used to wonder why British people went so far for their groceries.

Great post. I’ve always been a fan of Astronomy, I did a Physics and Astronomy degree at the University of London in the 70s

When I was doing my Physics and Astronomy degree one afternoon we had a guest lecturer for an Astronomy lecture. Who should walk in but the late great Patrick Moore. He was amazing. As it was our last lecture of the day he stayed and chatted with us.
