[To Scale] The Sun and Betelgeuse

Posted on June 25, 2019June 25, 2019 by FranklyWrong in Astronomy, Cosmic Sans

So I snapped this photo from my backyard earlier. Pretty nifty I'd say. The bland solar surface suggests the coming of a new solar minimum ... which is the second in my lifetime, and I'm far too inexperienced to remark more on. Other than the sun, the star that humanity has the most detailed photo … Continue reading [To Scale] The Sun and Betelgeuse →

[To Scale] That Black Hole Picture

Posted on April 11, 2019June 25, 2019 by FranklyWrong in Astronomy, Cosmic Sans

If you like scrolling you might enjoy the previous feature: solar-earth light ray diagram to scale. In the spirit of that, and to answer some general complaints, "Why is the photo so blurry!?"... Here's me attempting to put our first black hole portrait to human scales. Of course, this time it's utterly impossible to put … Continue reading [To Scale] That Black Hole Picture →

Yes! Well, I drew one in Adobe Illustrator, and then converted it to html. Edit: WP Does not … Continue reading What Does it (really) Take for an ECLIPSE? →

I saw stars through my ceiling, Below our moon, they were sitting In my mind they were calling. The autumn leaf and the swirling wind were my finger’s relative. Maybe here I am, so we never again separate. ⋯ I could not see where it began. I could not conjure afar I am afar. I … Continue reading Sleepless Hearts, #1 (ENG – CHN) →

Naming the Stars

Posted on September 3, 2017September 3, 2017 by FranklyWrong in Astronomy, Cosmic Sans, memos, TAS, Writing

Another very short one. I just printed out my last assignment of the week, and decided to spend another few minutes writing (personally) before I head for a Café (to grab a non-caffeinated drink alone, of course), and hopefully finish the problem set soon after. Bay Area's temperature broke historical records this weekend (39 degrees … Continue reading Naming the Stars →

What Am I Doing?

Posted on January 4, 2017February 2, 2018 by FranklyWrong in Cosmic Sans, memos, Poetry

People walk by, seeing me tear down butterfly wings, deriding me, "What is she doing?" I don’t care, heart beating tranquilly, as I am stopping hurricanes across this planet
