When I was a kid (around 1990, aged about 5) I lived in Dundee, and I remember one of my favourite possessions was a postcard with an image of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex from Mills Observatory MillsObs. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rho_OphiuchiOn twitter.com

It was beautiful, I remember how happy that postcard made me feel and how many questions I wanted to ask about it but didn’t know how. It would be an exaggeration to say one postcard made me a physicist, because tbh it was a long and messy path from there to here...Permalink On twitter.com

... but I am so grateful I had somewhere like that at that stage in my life. Nobody in my family knew anything about physics or astronomy, but I could go there and see and learn things. So, thanks, MillsObs 💖 You’re one of the things that makes Dundee great.Permalink On twitter.com
