This is exactly how I feel about astrophysics

"When I tell my friends that I study physics, they move their heads from side to side, they shake their hands at the wrist, and they whistle, "Whew! That's difficult". This universal reaction to the word "physics" is a wall that stands between what physicists do and what most people think they do. There is usually a big difference between the two." -Dancing Wu Li Masters From "An Overview of the New Physics" by Gary Zukav

This is exactly how I feel about astrophysics. This is my first lab note and I hope you enjoy this white dwarf animation. This is a simulation of a red giant star shedding its layers to reveal the left over core, a white dwarf.
