Telescope Privileges Revoked
Two amateur astronomers are stargazing with their telescope when one keeps insisting the sky is a "firmament" โ€“ that ancient, unscientific belief that stars are fixed to a solid dome above Earth! The poor doggo is just there wondering why humans argue about space stuff instead of focusing on important things like treats and belly rubs. ๐Ÿ˜‚ For the uninitiated, "firmament" comes from ancient cosmology where people believed the sky was a solid dome holding back celestial waters. Modern astronomy has moved on juuuust a bit since then! Nothing says "I'm done with this conversation" like threatening to take away someone's telescope privileges. That's the astronomical equivalent of "I'm turning this car around!"
