At least that is what I think. I was reducing some data when I noted something funny... When I marked the smiling stars with green circles it became even more obvious.

Also, background Porsche.

Lol, just a grad student in astrophysics. I use linux and I know a trick or two, but those command lines and softwares are what I use on a daily basis. The upper windows is a terminal running IRAF, the swiss army knife of astronomers. It can do EVERYTHING you can imagine for astronomy. The bigger window with the smiling stars is the DS9, a software to display astronomic images. The grey window is EMACS, the single best text editor ever made by humankind.
