Seven Past Presidents!?
Just proves why astronomers live to ripe old ages:
They keep saying "Just one more eclipse."


"Maybe I'll get a decent photo at the next eclipse."


"Maybe we can reach they sky."


"Why are you watching a game and not out observing?"


"I'm sorry, but your order call is out of order."


"With all these observers here, we should collect that $2 million."


"Okay -- here's our proof.  We collect the $2 million."


"How many channels will that pick up?"


"I know I'm old when they name buildings after people I knew."


"It all sounds very official in name..."


"...but we call it 'Bob' -- meaning 'Big orange balloon'."


"Repair equipment for Bob."


Observatory on the Hill  (Jack Newton's B&B).


"Yes, Castor is visible in the daytime."


"What are you doing in Jack's office?"
