I can't be the only one that thinks it's really cool how the deep ocean and deep outer space, total opposites (to those on earth) are also total opposites in that red light cannot penetrate the deepest depths of the ocean, but the only light from the farthest away galaxies we can see (so far) is so far away that it's only light so redshifted that it's in the infrared. something something red light fuels our discoveries of one and cannot be perceived in the other

#deep outer space #outer space #yes I'm still insane after dr kartaltepe's lecture #but also the fact that deep enough down we can't see red light at all #the principles of redshift and blueshift don't apply in the ocean bc redshift is bc of distance #redshift #ocean #astronomy #oceanography #(?) If that's a good word for it #i tried to type penetrate and autocorrect tried to change it to penetrative #no keyboard I'm not having sex I'm talking about space and the ocean leave me alone
