Description
This comic is loosly based off an AIM convo i had with Kat while i was doing some astronomy homework. Now for the explanation:
Don't know what a mnemonic device is? Neither does Aelita, thats the joke. Basically, a mnemonic device is a sentence or phrase in which the first letters of each word help you memorize an acronym, steps of a process, or something else you need to remember in a certain order. In this case, Jeremy is specifically referring to OBAFGKM, the 7 spectral types of stars, with O stars being the hottest and brightest, and M stars being coolest and dimmest (the sun itself is a G star)

Now that you know, have some fun with mnemonics, remember the order of the nine planets with "My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas" or how to classifiy species with "Kindly Penguins Cook On Frogs Green Skin" (i made that one up myself, it helps me remember Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species) or ROYGBIV (pronounced Roy-Gee-Biv) to remember the seven colors of the rainbow. Can you come up with your own useful mnemonics?
