Looking up at the stars on a clear night is one of life’s simple pleasures, and most of us live in places where there is too much light pollution to do it. Damn you, industrialization. Nonetheless, that doesn’t stop many from having a fascination with all things outer space. We may not have definitive proof of aliens (according to some people, anyway), but the place where they supposedly live is so wild regardless that it’s easy to get obsessed with.

Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects, a description that automatically sounds cool without any further explanation. Dig a bit deeper and the less left-brained among us might begin to struggle, but that doesn’t mean that its many wonders should be gatekept from everyone. A nice, friendly way in is the world of memes. They inject some humor into proceedings, and that always helps when dealing with the matter of learning.
