Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

But only after 10 years. You couldn't see anything that wasn't visible from the viewpoint of the mirror beforehand, as from earth's point of view the mirror isn't there yet. And if you're there anyway… you can just look at Earth with the craft that's on the position of the mirror already.
