So, if everyone who's been on a rocket is an astronaut...

Might be my most flattering selfie yet

[MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory @blackrockcastle]

Irish astronomers waiting for a clear night like...

[Sacred Black @SacredBlack]

When you work in a castle & see @astro_kimbrough framed on the wall of your office every day & then go on Twitter & he's posted a picture of that same castle from space 😱😱😱

Never been more proud to be an astronomer at @blackrockcastle

Thanks so much for the lovely tweet! 😊

[Shane Kimbrough @astro_kimbrough]

Great memories in the lovely city of Cork, Ireland! Blackrock Castle Observatory (near the center of the photo) was first built as a fort in 1582, with the purpose of discouraging pirates & invaders along the River Lee & Lough Mahon.
