Going from two lenses to three lenses in your DIY telescope setup is like upgrading from standard definition to 4K Ultra HD for backyard astronomers! The pure, unbridled excitement when that third lens reveals Jupiter's bands or Saturn's rings in slightly better detail is astronomical (literally). Professional astronomers spend millions on equipment while these heroes are out here having religious experiences with craft store components and super glue. The face of pure joy in the bottom panel is universal to anyone who's ever whispered "holy crap" while looking at a slightly less blurry moon crater.

Optical Center: The VIP Lane For Photons
Ever notice how light rays are like gym enthusiasts? Most rays get all bent out of shape going through a lens, but that ONE ray through the optical center? STRAIGHT THROUGH, NO DEVIATION! It's the Chad of optics! 💪 While other light rays are busy refracting and changing direction like indecisive shoppers, the optical center ray just struts through like it owns the place. Physics teachers never tell you the optical center is actually just a VIP lane for photons with premium memberships!

Optical Center: The Undefeated Champion Of Light Rays
Ever wondered why your physics professor was so obsessed with the optical center? THIS is why! In optics, light rays passing through the optical center of a lens don't bend at all—they just strut right through like they own the place. Meanwhile, all other light rays get pathetically refracted and end up who-knows-where. It's basically the VIP entrance of the lens world. The buff Doge perfectly represents that one special ray that found the cheat code to avoid refraction entirely. Physics has never been so unnecessarily jacked.
