Whatever sucks about your life, at least you're not in the Hadean Eon. For 500 million years, Earth's surface temperature was 3,000º F, the atmosphere was thick with CO2, everything was radioactive, there were constant asteroids and volcanic eruptions, and giant seas of lava. https://t.co/xnVZnxU8EQ — PolitiTweet.org

Crazy Wikipedia tidbit about American football: "A 1905 peak of 19 fatalities nationwide resulted in a threat by President Theodore Roosevelt to abolish the game unless major changes were made." Colleges met to change the rules and the NCAA was born. — PolitiTweet.org

Okay cricket started around 1600 and got big in the 1700s. Maybe they were playing cricket. Or maybe everyone was just dealing with war? — PolitiTweet.org

When stars die, most leave behind a beautiful piece of art called a planetary nebula. They last a few thousand years and then fade. Our sun will likely sign off with its own art piece in 5 billion years. These are planetary nebulae captured by Hubble. https://t.co/Cx78YJD822 — PolitiTweet.org
