Stick with it! Timing is the essence of grad school. Tim, Kelly, Juan, John, and Ted went back out to the IRTF observatory on the Big Island of Hawai'i with the HIPWAC spectrometer. We had to get this video out before Juan leaves us to go to grad school. Enough of this now...let's get back to work. "Your thesis advisor's standing by!"

"Midnight Sky" is a parody of George Gershwin's "Summertime".

  • Excuse me, the lyrics are not a solo project, and there were some others contributing to shooting the video. Film editing, music, and singing -- well, yeah, that's all Kelly. She da man!

  • Dr Kelly Fast certainly is amazing, probably the perfect woman ;-)

    Again a superb video which gives some insight in the life of astronomers, ideal to celebrate the IYA 2009...

    By the way, the telescope with the orange frame in this video is the 3 meter NASA InfraRed Telescope Facility which saw first light in 1979.

    My LASERS are arcing ;-)

  • Kelly has such a beautiful voice...plays all the instruments, writes the lyrics AND is an astronmer! Hey, the perfect woman! Kelly instead of Palin!

  • What with Jodrel Bank having been threatened with closure due to idiots, and Brian May getting to hand in his cosmology thesis years late, one might wonder if (extremely dark) "blue sky" scientific fields are worth it. Science at this level is massively underfunded and under-appreciated on every continent, but is ultimately the spring from which all later knowledge flows. A nice piece of filk to celebrate some involved in it.

  • Heterodyne rules!

  • I think I am so in love with Kelly! Can I look through your big telescope? lol Ya'll do such great things. Can't wait till the next one.

  • This is great--thanks for doing it and sharing!

  • Ha ha. Yeah, it was worth sticking with.

    But don't you always say "Timing is the essence of COMEDY"?

    And... Eh... You didn't actually shave your head, did you? DID YOU?!

  • Even more brilliant that Hotel Mauna Kea. Congrats.

  • See, even scientists are people - almost
