Queer Media class ended.
Today was the last day technically.
So that’s a little saddening.

My headcanon about you is that you have those glow in the dark star stickers on your ceiling.
Awwwwwww I actually had these when I was younger. My room always had some star patterns somewhere and if it didn’t i would have just painted the walls with acrylic paint hehe ✨

I actually refuse to believe that i did this entirely correctly, and only missed half a point for forgetting that $\pdot_x = - dh/dh$ is negative

The other day (literally yesterday) in physics I got a question on a binary star system, about redshift and the Doppler effect. Now, I missed the initial lesson on Doppler shift and the Hubble constant etc., but I caught up in my own time, this means I don’t know the intricate details, but being familiar with the wider concept.
In this question I was trying to use the equation
Change in wavelength over wavelength equals speed of observed body over the speed of light
But I hit a snag - the question said “the stars are observed using light that was wavelength 656nm in the laboratory. The observed light from the stars is Doppler shifted.”
I thought that this meant that the light observed in the laboratory from the star was already Doppler shifted, so I did the question accordingly. I found out, however, that I couldn’t find out how much it was Doppler shifted, so after a few minutes I asked my teacher. He said that actually the light wasn’t Doppler shifted. The question meant that they reproduced the light in the laboratory and they found it was 650nm without Doppler shift.
How was I meant to get that from the question????
Anyway that sucked but I carried on. I then found out that I didn’t know what the speed was the stars were moving away from the earth. The equation v=H0d didn’t help as I didn’t know what the distance d from the earth was.
Feeling bewildered I asked again, and he said “it’s a binary star system, just find out the speed of the circular motion” and started explaining that. I said “I know, but that speed would be negligible compared to the speed of it moving away from the earth”
And then he went “oh no they’re not moving away from each other”
??? I though everything moved further away from each other, and it was directly proportional to the distance.
He said “yeah but the stars are in the same galaxy as the earth so they’re orbiting a common point”
I was just supposed to assume that??? Yeah it turns out that they went over this in lesson but I didn’t find out about it in my catch up.
The guy next to me then went “v=H0d” only applies to galaxies
That would’ve been nice to know 😂
Anyway this is why we go through papers, so this doesn’t happen in exams

found your blog today and as a prospective astro + cs + physics major i am enjoying perusing through it very much indeed
naw but i barely astro post anymore 😔 feel free to browse my past posts though
