Soooo… I go to a national astronomical convention last week and run into this guy!!! Met him in 2017 in Casper for 2017 Great American Eclipse and we picked up where we left off!
Dr Shane Larson PhD astrophysicist and astronomer main subject being galaxies and black holes!
Trekkies both so that kept the convention fun. Showed him my pairing that I think looks like the enterprise but it’s called Galaxy AM 1054 a galaxy torn apart from an interaction with another galaxy.
He had never seen this so it was mind blowing to tell him something he didn’t know.
So it’s on its way to Clarkson University astrophysics dept!!!
