Astronomers Nutrition - Carrots??

[Andrew*]

and why is that? :?

Eating Carrots can make you see better in the dark. C'mon! It's the same as your mum telling you if eat any more chocolate bars you'll turn into one.

If you want to see better in the dark, get a bigger scope, it's that simple

During World War II, the British Royal Air Force invented the myth tying carrots to clear, sharp vision as a way to explain the sudden increase in [removed word] bombers being shot down. A disinformation campaign spread the rumor that British fighter pilots were eating carrots to improve their vision, when in reality the British had a new radar system they wanted to keep secret from Germany. The story caught on though, and it remains popular to this day.

Thanks, I've never heard that before... it's very interesting!

There have also been discussions regarding the use of Bilberry to improve night vision.

Kebabs are great for night vision, extra large with thousand island dressing.
