Totally Random Non-Fiction Tuesday

Scientists definitely like to have this air of ‘Discovery’ that is planned out and is a result of study and perseverance, etc. And, I mean, a ton of it is. But, this book gave a look into a lot of the very early scientists and how much some amazing discoveries in Astronomy were based on a ton of guesswork instead.

I sorta didn’t realise just how much luck sorta plays into Astronomy, but, it does make sense. If the Astronomer is looking even a degree or half a degree wrong at the time that something humongous happens, whoops, what happened? Nothing happened. It makes stuff like how tons and tons and tons of scientists were watching the Eclipse this past year. The more people who can watch different parts, the more science can take luck out of it. A really interesting book and look at Astronomy.

Zooniverse at Bluedot 2017
