/sci/ - Science & Math

Hi guys/girls, Astrophysics Master's student here, currently working on astrochemical modelling of dark molecular clouds. I'm about to go to sleep now (GMT here), but keep this thread alive and I'll be happy to try and answer any questions you have tomorrow and tell you more about my work and even upload some pictures I have taken from my DSLR and through telescopes from my undergraduate years.

So know that Neil's show (Cosmos) is pretty much destroying religion's creationist views. Creationists are demanding to include the creationist point of view in the show. this really pisses me off... what do you think /sci/.

We have telescopes that can spot galaxies, some in clear detail, from millions of lightyears away, but we don't have the ability to focus on the surface of a planet from our part of space? Hubble Deep Field is an image that zooms in so fucking far that we're seeing shit billions of years in the past, but none of our telescopes have been developed far enough to track and zoom in to Kepler 22b, which is an object much closer to us than galaxies far out in space?
