Friday Wisdom – Astronomy

Posted on 08/18/2023 by Andrew Reynolds

This will be the 345th Friday Wisdom post. I was going to wait till 350 to say anything, but it’s likely that I’d forget to mention it then, so I figure just say something while I still remember that I was going to brag about how many of these posts I’ve done. This last week I watched a documentary on the James Webb Space Telescope. Of course I’m an expert on the subject so here’s everything I know about astronomy:

The moon maybe smaller than the earth, but it’s further away.

The asteroids may be in a belt, but only the earth has leather.

One light-year — the same as a regular year but with less calories.

In our town we arrest shooting stars.

I was having trouble parking my space ship the other day. Let me tell you how hard it is to find a space without a parking meteor.

What is an alien with three eyes? Aliiien.

The moon is bald because it has no ‘air.

I couldn’t sleep last and kept thinking, “Where is the sun?” Then it dawned on me.

Living on earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun.

I was reading about the Earth’s rotation – it makes my day.

Flat earthers have nothing to fear, but sphere itself!

My friend said he wants to take his dog to the moon. Yup, he wants a lunar rover.

Did you hear that our local astronomer didn’t win the Nobel Prize? They just gave her a constellation prize.

Black holes were discovered by depressed astrophysicist.

I was going to write a joke about a desert planet, but I didn’t because I felt the humor was too dry.

    Well, congrats on number 345! I can’t decide which joke I liked best, but I’m thinking it’s finding a parking meteor for your spaceship.

    A lot of good ones, but this one made me snort: One light-year — the same as a regular year but with less calories.

    By the way, how’s your gardening project going with the retaining wall. Is that what you would call it?
