There was plenty he could joke about for astronomy, but seeing as he had books about the subject, he would have kept them a secret if he wasn't being serious. Published works were kinda hard to fake in this context at least with his horrible skills.
"Think of it this way. For each star or group of stars there could be another solar system. And several hundred and thousand solar systems make up a galaxy or universe." Gideon was working on explaining it and hoping his information was totally correct or at least not that far off. He didn't have a photographic memory after all, he did still have to work hard to remember stuff and on top of the other subjects they were made to learn as well.
Next year...next year he could pick and chose.
Selina looked curiously at Gideon when he answered her statement. It was not that she did not believe that what he said was fact, it was just sort of hard to believe. The whole concept sent her mind into overdrive and she could legitimately not think straight at the moment. Did that mean, if what he said was true, which she dis believe was most likely the case, that there were other universes where other life could exist? The whole idea was just crazy. That was where he had lost her... Her mind going into over drive.
She tried to piece together what he was saying before she responded,
"Okay I'm going to go with you on that. It sounds logical enough... But what if, well, you know what nevermind.". When she finally gathered her thoughts she asked,
"So universe has millions of galaxies, got it. Now what about a solar system. What makes up a solar system per say. I know stars and stuff... But is that it?". It couldn't be.
