Astrophysics, second year. For me that was when the s... really hit the fan. Twenty years ago we had to figure out Alt and Az from RA and dec using charts and calculators. That's all I remember doing in my Observational Astro class. Now it's all done on computers! You lucky sod.

I didn't know we could get cereal. That must have been one of the upgrades. It's good to know that PF offers a "cruelty free" snack option now. :approve:

oh, and - Howdy Nylex! - welcome to PF!
