Hubby and I spend a lot of free time learning about the cosmic microwave background and thinking about cosmology. He's a data scientist and a bit of a math enthusiast.
I like it when this stuff blows my mind in a fun way!

@coreyspowell I remember the excitement of connecting to a NASA gopher server with my 1200 baud modem to download some random picture like I was living in the future.
The terminal resized itself to 120 columns or so and I was surprised that could happen and my Uncle John explained "they're the government. They can do anything!"
