\"thebigbangtheory_logo\"Did y’all catch last night’s episode of The Big Bang Theory<\/a> on CBS? In one scene, Sheldon is walking down the steps of their apartment building and reciting a little ditty about the nearest stars to the Earth. How did he — heck, how do we<\/em> — know what stars those are?<\/p>

Happily, BBT science advisor David Saltzberg has a blog describing each episode, and he talks about this very thing<\/a>! And what’s this? Why yes, he mentions that your host here on Bad Astronomy helped him with the pronunciations of the star names! David sent me an email a while back asking me if I could lend a hand (well, a vocal cord) to pronouncing some of the names which weren’t all that obvious. I love the show, and was glad to help. <\/p>

And how weird is it to hear Sheldon saying stuff I was emailing about? Pretty weird. But also totally awesome, too. <\/p>

Now if I could just get my URL to appear on their white board…<\/p>
