This is what NASA are calling amartyr astronomers these days. God told "Burning" to stop wasting money on any science which didn't immediately fill his own pockets so it has fallen to we amartyrs to do all the "dirty work". If Jupiter were any lower I'd need a stepladder to see it over the hedge. So I'm wearing my wife's high heels at the telescope and speaking in a very deep voice. I'm making quite an impact too.
