Scientific discovery is very rarely “eureka!” And very often “hmm, that’s weird…”

But also, can we talk about a high school with an observatory? Like hearing about some of the programs and equipment modern schools have (robotics and genetics labs/clubs, for example) makes me really really regret that I grew up rural in the 90s. We didn’t get shit beyond a drivers ed “simulator” from the 70s, and I feel like I missed out on early exposure to so many things I’d have excelled at. Instead, I still don’t know what I want to do when I grow up.

Good for those students! That’s something that’s going to stick with them, and I hope it pushes them toward careers in space science!
