I'll see your P.F. and I'll raise you KT Tunstall's Eye To The Telescope...

KT is a keen astronomer...

KT (an alternate spelling of her first name, Katie) Tunstall was born in 1975, and adopted by a St. Andrews University physicist's family in Scotland. According to Corey Apar, writing for All Music Guide, Tunstall's knowledge of her adoption heightened her awareness of the different directions her life could have taken, and sparked her imagination and creativity. "I grew up knowing I could have had a million different lives," she said on her website. "It reminds you how mysterious life is and makes your imagination go wild." Among the childhood experiences contributing to her creativity were frequent trips to the St. Andrews observatory with her father and brothers. These visits contributed to her love of astronomy and the science fiction genre, reflected in the title of her debut album, Eye to the Telescope. "My dad used to take my brothers and me into his lab when we were little," she said on her website. "He used to take us up to the observatory at St. Andrew's University and he'd get us up in the middle of the night to show us Halley's Comet or Saturn."
