HOLY SHIT

Ho-ly shit

Squirtle Squad approves.

What the shit?!

i'm done

Bravo sir, bravo indeed.

**iamjustheretoroll rolled a random image posted in comment #150094 at Friendly ** oh, wow

Unfortunately....that's how funnyjunk works sometimes. It's best not to give them any ideas.

you're right
this conversation never happened

I see what you did there.

lol grats on the roll btw

"If I post multiple comments then I'll get more thumbs."

this person made an account one year ago, only made 3 comments. To make it even worse, this is the only one that got thumbed down.And you managed to ban him, im proud of you fj!

he even made some OC...I think.Not arsed to go back and check

Go back to facebook.

You tapped your keyboard 7 times to make that comment...


That's literally -25 thumbs for every character, including the space....

Is that a new record? Somebody get some science on this shit...

anyone else feel like this guy probably didn't deserve that? it seemed like an innocent enough comment to me...

He needed to be made an example of...

And no, I don't think he deserved the thumb raping that he got

No shit, it's called Light Pollution. Seriously. Not joking. Look it up.

I was worried you weren't going to show up Captain Obvious thank the gods you did.

Just doing my duty fair citizen.

He's everywhere

>.> Can almost see.

Trying hard as fuck to see what you see

Still forms the crusaders.

man, that sounds like a fucking boring lab.

my last astronomy lab involved looking at emission spectra and classifying the stars from which they originated.

one of my favorites was when we launched a simulated radio pulse at Mercury, and used it to calculate the rotational velocity of the planet

It's just to get them to look at the night sky and orientate them selves using star charts. I think they do spectra later on in the semester.

The coolest thing I've done so far was take images of a star cluster using a remotely controlled telescope in New Mexico.
We then calculated magnitudes of the stars in the cluster and made a CMD diagram. If I remember correctly there ended up being ~2000 stars (that we can reliably detect) in our cluster.

It was a ton of work (we wrote our own code, and a ~6 page research paper), but we got some damn good data and really nice color images.

That was in the advanced lab course though. The lower division lab is mostly there to satisfy general ed requirements for non astronomy majors.

If you're interested I could send you the image we took. New and can't post images in replies haha.

man, I don't even know how to process that much information.

IDL. It's pretty much the staple when it comes to programming for astronomy.
It does all the tedious calculations for you. Tricky part is writing the code to make it do that for you.
IDL is really great with array manipulation, which makes it useful when you're comparing lists of attributes on thousands of stars haha. It's not too tricky to learn, and is fairly flexible when it comes to syntax.
I had only had one semester of intro level Java going into that lab course (which was practically useless) and learned enough to do our first paper in ~2 weeks.

ahh, I have absolutely 0 knowledge in computer languages, and as far as I know, I don't think I'm required to take any computer classes

Do you have any sort of upper division lab course that you have to take?

as far as I can tell, these are what I have left for astronomy
AST 210 - Introduction to Astrobiology
AST 371 - Introduction to Astrophysics
AST 471 - Stellar Astrophysics

I don't think any of these have a lab associated with them

for the rest of my physics major, these classes are all listed. I have no idea how many of these I have to take

PH 112 - General Physics with Calculus II
PH 113 - General Physics with Calculus III
PH 421 - Thermal and Statistical Physics
PH 451 - Introductory Quantum Mechanics I
PH 251 - Special Relativity
PH 301 - Intermediate Mechanics
PH 305 - Mathematical Methods in Physics
PH 310 - Intermediate Laboratory I
PH 311 - Intermediate Laboratory II
PH 337 - Electronics
PH 351 - Introduction to Modern Physics
PH 431 - Intermediate Electricity and Magnatism I
PH 452 - Introductory Quantum Mechanics II
PH 453 - Introduction to Particle Physics
PH 432 - Intermediate Electricity and Magnetism II
PH 474 - Introduction to General Relativity

You'll probably use some sort of computer language in the intermediate labs. Probably python. That's looks pretty similar for what my degree requires as well.

I would assume that you'll have to take at least one of the labs. At my university we can either do just the astronomy lab or advanced lab + electronics or computational physics.

Also, pro-tip. If you want to get into REUs/gradschool talk to professors now about doing research with them.

I'm only in the second semester of my freshman year, so I'm doing a mixture of major specific classes and GERs

Ahhh ok. Once you have the general physics with calc then you can start doing fun stuff

yeah, I'm in gen w/calc I this semester.

Yeah, most fields in science have to learn some programming here and there. Usually it's just Python (since it's the easiest), so nothing fancy. Or you can come to your friends over here in the software engineering departments and we can $help$ you.

haha, yeah, it's nice having interdisciplinary friends. I have an EE major friend who helps me when I need some soldering done

ah, that sounds pretty damn awesome (I'm an astrophysics major). I'd love to see it, do you want me to pm you my email?

Boku no pico

The Crusades were a series of religious expeditionary wars blessed by Pope Urban II and the Catholic Church, with the stated goal of restoring Christian access to the holy places in and near Jerusalem. Jerusalem was and is a sacred city and symbol of all three major Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity and Islam). The background to the Crusades was set when the Seljuk Turks decisively defeated the Byzantine army in 1071 and cut off Christian access to Jerusalem. The Byzantine emperor, Alexis I, feared that all Asia Minor would be overrun. He called on western Christian leaders and the papacy to come to the aid of Constantinople by undertaking a pilgrimage or a crusade that would free Jerusalem from Muslim rule.[2] Another cause was the destruction of many Christian sacred sites and the persecution of Christians under the Fatimid caliph Al-Hakim.

love me my boku no picu

don't even try, man.

I'm unsure what is going on. Why did this picture get so many red thumbs?

look at his name

He's trying to be geckosandcheerios.

He's probably spamming

Wrong time to start this again.

Are you starting a new geckosandcheerios?

no

It took some time for me to realize that that there were those images in the background.. Looks so dahm nice

does anyone have wallpaper background versions of these?
