Hi Adam !! It’s Abigail :)

I took the job offer in Baltimore.

I will be working as a guide at the Davis Planetarium. I’m very happy it worked out. The planetarium has such a rich archive and so many exhibits in rotation! I’ll have a lot to learn and organize, and even more to share. I am already experiencing a lot of excitement about that.

That means Beth and I will be moving to Maryland soon, leaving New York behind. I will miss New York. But I’m looking forward to seeing some people in Baltimore. And it’ll make getting to Dr. Lecter’s appointments easier, once he returns from his retreat.

Everyone keeps telling me to sell my house. I won’t. No matter what happens. I don’t want to move. I don’t want to leave. I don’t want to lose something else again.

I‘m still figuring out how the anonymous notes work.

I am unsure whether we are acquainted, but I appreciate your kindness “🦌“ person.

Desigur, sunt darnic să te ajut. Zvonurile pot fi doar zvonuri, dar cel mai bine este să ai grijă. Sunt din România, da, dar sunt un spirit liber si îmi place sa bântui prin diverse țări, fără să stau mai mult într-un anumit loc. Rar se găsesc de-ai noștri pe-aici într-adevăr. Pe lângă subiect, vreau să îți zic că Adam este o persoană foarte mișto și că sunt de părere că te-ai înțelege tare bine cu el. Ca de obicei, mult noroc

[Ooc: your translator is working just fine, don't worry!! I translate my messages cause I'm prone to using slang or wording things in a way that a translator wouldn't exactly understand or would misinterpret. Translation: Of course, I wish to help you. Rumours can be just rumours, but it's best to be careful. I am from Romania, yes, but I'm a free spirit, and I like haunting around different countries without staying too much in one place. You rarely find our kind around here, indeed. By the way, I wanna tell you that Adam is a really cool person and I think that you would get along splendidly. As always, good luck]

E tare fain să întâlnesc un alt român! Și chiar înțeleg dorința de a vedea lumea, chiar dacă uneori Statele Unite sunt de-a dreptul nașpa. Nu găsești mâncare românească decentă pe aici. Mai stai în Europa?

Da, Adam pare super fain până acum. Și frumos, dar o să vedem ce o să fie. Nu cred că se gândește la mine așa, mai ales că abia ne-am cunoscut. Mersi din nou pentru tot.

Are you a jealous person?

Jealousy is irrational. It serves no practical function, and yet, I think if I care about someone enough, I might experience a version of it.

Not in an aggressive way, but… I wouldn’t like the idea of being replaceable. I‘ve been told I get ‘sulky‘.

(not that) unpopular opinion: neil degrasse tyson is overrated.

popular opinion: elon musk is overrated.

opinion: brian cox is great

fact: the planetary parade is going to happen friday 28th (England time) and it wont happen again until 2040 approx!!!

Unpopular or not, Tyson’s style isn’t for everyone. His focus tends to be on simplifying complex ideas for mass appeal, which can make them feel less substantial when compared to other scientists who delve deeper. I do think he has a knack for bringing attention to space, though.

Musk, on the other hand, I think his overhyped persona doesn’t always match the actual impact of his ventures. There’s a difference between innovative ideas and being celebrated for the spectacle of it all. The focus often seems more on the ‘idea’ of progress rather than actual tangible steps.

Brian Cox, though, I do like. He makes astrophysics easier to grasp without dumbing it down. I really appreciate the clarity he brings.

As for the planetary parade, I’m actually looking forward to it as well !. It’s not every day you get to see such a rare alignment.

That seems like an unnecessary comparison. Helen of Troy caused a war.

I just sat in a chair and read a book. But if you think beauty alone can tip the scales of history, I won’t argue.

Besides, I think I don’t mind being the cause of your awe. It’s nice.

Beth was over today. She took this picture while I was reading and said I should post it.

So I am.

Good morning, Adam. How are you? : )

-Duncan.

Hello Duncan, please excuse my late response.

I have been feeling stressed out for a while now and I have lots of doubts.

How are you? It seems like you are in a relationship now, am I interpreting that correctly?.

Hi- Im Lenny, Im really new to this app. You seem really pretty though. Do you have any movie recommendations? I see you like space, I have a few space films at the video store I work at.

talk to you later starboy.

🎬 ( @film-collecter )

Hello Lenny!,

Thank you. I do have many recommendations.

Two of my favorite films are A Beautiful Mind (2001, dir. Ron Howard) and The Imitation Game (2014, dir. Morten Tyldum). Both films have a strong focus on the protagonist, but they still fit your criteria. Contact (1997, dir. Robert Zemeckis) is simply brilliant in its scientific accuracy. I also think Moon (2009, dir. Duncan Jones) is one of the best films ever made—it inspires me to this day. If you want to watch something more laid-back but not the absolute garbage that many self-proclaimed ‘space’ movies are, I can recommend Wall-E (2008, dir. Andrew Stanton).

Let me know if you are interested in something more specific!.

Introduction

Hello.

This is my blog. My name is Adam Raki. I live in New York City, but I prefer looking at things that are very far away, like galaxies and nebulae.

I am an electrical engineer, but I am currently between jobs. I know a lot about space, physics, and astronomy. If you ask me something, I will answer it as accurately as possible!. If you are imprecise, I may ask you to clarify.

The parallax shift is how the position of a star appears to change when viewed from different locations. It is not actually moving, but perspective makes it seem that way. That is how I got the name.

I do not know exactly what people post on blogs, but I will post things about space. If I like something, I might reblog it. I do not always understand jokes, but if you tell me it is a joke, I will try to understand.

Topics I will post about:

• Astronomy

• Space exploration

• Interesting facts

• Possibly answering Questions

OOC:

Hey ! I’m Tej (he/him) and I made this as an rp account for Adam because I adore him. Feel free to interact no matter who you are , just be respectful :) you can always send OOC asks just make sure to mark them as such !

(I also just wanted to clarify that I am neurodivergent myself and I will do my absolute best not to make a mockery out of Adam’s character !)

What's your favourite instrument for observing space? (I mean as in out of all created ones, not just telescopes. Cause there's some pretty developed ones nowadays)

You’re right there are many advanced instruments for observing space, each designed for different purposes. The James Webb Space Telescope is one of the most impressive—it observes infrared light, allowing us to see distant galaxies and exoplanets in ways we never could before. But if I had to pick a favorite, I think the Voyager probes are remarkable. They carry the Golden Record, which is an attempt to communicate with any potential extraterrestrial life, and they are the farthest human-made objects from Earth. The idea that they might one day be found is… fascinating
