μ Cephei, my Garnet Star, is one of the biggest and brightest stars in the Milky Way #proud

[William Herschel @starclusts]

@RoyalAstroSoc You're welcome. For, yknow, the whole "founding" thing.

[William Herschel @starclusts]

My son, my sister, me, all astronomers. #familyoffeatherssticktogether #amazing

...the moons really shouldn't be like, "James" and "Henry" and "William". I don't need ANOTHER something named after me, hehe.

[William Herschel @starclusts]

What would be a cool name? Should i go with Shakespeare's dramas or comedies? Even if the planet is named George, the moons...

[William Herschel @starclusts]

found some moons. around George. yknow. the planet i discovered. Oh and saturn, but i didn't discover that one.

Martians, moon people, you guys are weak with that stuff. People obviously live on the interior of the sun #aliensarereal

[William Herschel @starclusts]

Those blue squiggles you get after staring at the sun are killer... I just tripped over my harpsichord. The WHOLE harpsichord.

[William Herschel @starclusts]

Everyone's complaining about wheat prices... man, it's obviously the sun. Come over and look at it, believe me.

[William Herschel @starclusts]

The sun's pretty complex. #justlikeme

[William Herschel @starclusts]

Just ran an experiment - refracted light in a prism and held a thermometer just past red. It was considerably hotter than the other colors?

[William Herschel @starclusts]

New andante is sounding good... at least in my head, lol.
