Ahem.

AND LOOK AT THAT STELLAR ANSWER! Save for that very first sentence because Airey also had no idea what the young man meant by that. BUT AN EXCELLENT ANSWER! AND WHEN THE ASTRONUT WAS EXCITED HE...

"NAVIGATION AND ONE GIANT COSMIC ECOSYSTEM!" Wooooooooooo flailing arms above his head as he stood on Mr. Zeke's desk. WOOOOOOOOOOO! "Outstanding, Mr. Zeke. Take 4 points for that answer!"

*****

Looking around to see that there were no more hands raised, Airey returned to the standing in front of his desks and tugged on his suit jacket to look a bit more presentable. The desk jumping had given things a slightly disheveled look that he quickly fixed. There. Now he could continue teaching.

"Your textbook defines astronomy as the branch of science which deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole...but as you have heard from your classmates, astronomy is much more than this series of brief words," he said as he began the brief lecture portion of the discussion. "Astronomy is more of an umbrella term wherein there are various subfields of study, and while many may consider it to be more of a modern science...has in fact been around since the dawn of humankind. We all are descended from astronomers and we all have within us, sometimes hidden quite deep, the innate curiosity to look up to the sky and wonder why."

He trailed off at the end for a moment to gaze longingly out the window at the clear blue sky above the grounds. How could anyone NOT want to study that breathtaking sky and what lay beyond it was...baffling to him. Simply baffling.

"But when we study astronomy, we are not only learning about the universe, or universes, we exist in...but we are learning about ourselves as well and seeing how the very atoms that make up our bodies are a part of the grand design that is the universe. Astronomy connects us all."

Alright..that had become a bit more cheesy than he had intended. What was the point of all this? Oh, yes. There was the thought.

"Now, because universe is ever expanding and many reverse outer space with awe, there is much overlap with the scientific community and pop culture - namely with science fiction." He paused for a moment and gave the blackboard a firm tap to make a series of photographs appear with numbers below them. He PROMISES that there is a reason behind this slight apparently Muggle Studies inspired detour. There was always a method to his madness.

"Can anyone identify any of these characters or the film or muggle telebox series they come from? Please just one per person." If not they were more than welcome to venture a guess or observation about what sort of character they could be.

OOC: I am SO sorry for the delay guys, but you all gave me so much to respond to so it took more time than I had anticipated! But I wouldn't have it any other way <3 so thank you for your patience.

Class will resume...hopefully in less than 24 hours from the time of this post (more like 19? No promises though!)

...........

Did that just happen?

Zeke was fairly certain that it had.

He had just earned POINTS!!!! HE DID SOMETHING USEFUL AND SMART!!!!!!!!!........ and Professor Airey was standing on his desk. This was SO COOL! His grin widened to the point where his cheeks threatened to burst from being so tight. This Gryffindor was a happy chappy, and puffing his chest out with pride.

Of course, he was paying attention, SUPER intently now, because this was officially the coolest thing Hogwarts had going for it. NASA name tags and a cool as Head of House/Professor. EPIC.

What was disappointing though, was that he didn't recognise ANY of the images on the board. None at all. What even were they? The last one, number nine, looked VAGUELY familiar, but he couldn't put a name to it. So after feeling SUPER awesome for knowing something, now he just felt SUPER lame for knowing nothing. Failure come at us.

Zeke tapped a finger on his desk idly, hoping a name would come to him... but it didn't, so he just shrugged and waited for others to answer. His nifty red quill was inked and at the ready though, because he WAS going to take notes on this, he was determined to.
