@ima_shmeeb @littmath He said "starting to become" at 116 million. He has no idea what he's saying.

@mathobi75 @JohnDiesattheEn Since you're a native of Titan, you may not be familiar with this vocabulary, but those do not mean the same thing.

@MayankJohnson22 @Brandon39994418 @MorrisKarlen @astro_jaz Or you can just try to take photos of the Moon and stars at the same time and see how (not) easy it is. People walk around with cameras; a little practical experience can go a long way.

@AlHendiify Nice to see Big Chuck and Little John in the first shot, though (giving away my age and birth place)

@UrbanAstroNYC I'm the opposite extreme. Planets are the five "wandering stars" of antiquity. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. That's it. We gotta come up with new names for any other way to categorize solar system objects.

@The_Sqoou @astro_jaz It's a live feed image in B&W, not color.

@AstroKirsten People want Pluto to remain the last-discovered, measly little runt of an oddball planet with a weird orbit, instead of the first-discovered, unusually massive king of the Kuiper Belt Objects. Why do people want to cling to the past and hold Pluto down like that?

@LiamKWilliams19 @jeffvandermeer You're gonna have narrow that down some more.

@mnasadoo @skeemures @LilySimpson1312 (...length that causes the distortion, it's the perspective view from a certain distance, and the focal length determines the correct distance from a subject to fill a shot)

[TurnipReflex @ReflexTurnip]

@mnasadoo @skeemures @LilySimpson1312 Eyes/brains work a differently than cameras so it's not a trivial question (especially if you, like most humans, have 2 functioning eyes), but 40-50mm tends to be the most "normal" focal lengths, but maybe a little longer for tight portrait shot (it isn't really the focal...)

There's something I like about the remnants of columbine flowers. I have way too many photos of them.

@Elon_R_Tusk @Rainmaker1973 It isn't! It's under water! It's a weird photo to figure out especially with unusual lighting.

[TurnipReflex @ReflexTurnip]

@Grownded @astro_jaz They're not particularly sophisticated about photography and perspective, are they?

@jeffvandermeer I hope it doesn't sound like I'm sucking up when I say I that I believe you are the world's greatest living author who is a little raccoon.

@FredipusRex @Snack_Memories It doesn't have to have a crust, and it never has what most people think of as "pie crust" by default. I mean, I bet people have put it in a standard pie crust, but I bet they called it "cheesecake pie".
