I ended up hand-rotoscoping the ukulele and EACH STRING throughout the shot.

That's old-school 1930s Disney stuff. That's amazing to do for YouTube.

Well, if you take out the Infrared part, you'd be doing visible-light astronomy, which is often done from the ground, so you'd end up just sitting on a SOFA. Not nearly as cool. Therefore, leave things as they are and enjoy sitting in a plane for ten hours.

Oh, wait...

Anyway, the better acronym is GREAT (German Receiver for Astronomy at Terahertz Frequencies), which discovered two new molecules not so long ago. One of them was OD, the deuterated hydroxyl radical, so my question is: How do they tell it's OD and not OH just by looking at spectra?
