While discussing the penchant astronomers often have of using dirty-sounding terminology to describe phenomenon (see: violent relaxation, bulge mass, tidal friction, mass ejection, etc.), I had a thought, which turned into the Hubble Female Reproductive System:
Male organs would be too difficult.
I guess it’s time we astronomers ramped up the subtleties in our educational approach, and just accept ourselves for who we are. I also had a thought that this is the perfect tool for educating our politicians, since it’s the perfect blend of two things they seem to have trouble understanding: science, and female reproduction.
