US Independence Day Celebrating the badass moment when the American Colonists declared their independence from the King of England, five years before that independence was actually won.

July 4, 2022 Happy Aphelion to Planet Earth. In our oval orbit, it’s when Earth is farthest from the Sun — 3% more distant than six months from now. Astrophysicists worldwide, but especially in the USA, might be seen today celebrating with fireworks. https://t.co/OWhx4coOcp — PolitiTweet.org

No 8 was not a test. It was just a plain old “wordo” — the word equivalent of a “typo”. Should have said “Southern Hemisphere days begin to lengthen”. Thanks to all those who caught it. — PolitiTweet.org

and… Along the equator, sitting exactly between two hemispheres that always trend in opposite ways, the duration of sunlight & darkness remains unchanged throughout the year. There are no astronomical seasons, and their twilight is always the shortest -- less than 30 mins. — PolitiTweet.org

Banned in Pennsylvania A biography called StarStruck portrays an actual (non-violent) Police encounter in my teens. From my apartment building’s roof, they thought my telescope was a weapon. Apparently they don’t want you to see what can happen between Police & people of color. https://t.co/mysDB3VZNI — PolitiTweet.org

8:12 pm, NYC Time Sunday, May 29, 2022 Monday, May 30, 2022 Crowds gather. Traffic halts. Cross streets glisten with fiery orange light, rendering otherwise-shadowed urban canyons aglow. Behold sunset on the Manhattan grid. Behold #Manhattanhenge. https://t.co/l0tus96gqp — PolitiTweet.org

Hockey great Mark Messier, upon learning as a @NYRanger that the @StanleyCup double’s off-season as the @NASAHubble Space Telescope. https://t.co/DdMhld3Eft — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
@mechjacktv @NYRangers @TheGarden @StanleyCup Sounds like you already know the answer. All scientific discoveies build on previous work. Henrietta Leavitt in 1908, eighteen years earlier. Hubble’s discovery was enabled by his monster 100-inch telescope on Mt. Wilson, California. — PolitiTweet.org

@Rizeberg No. Your lungs already mixed your bood with oxygen. — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
The @NYRangers were founded in 1926, as center ice at @TheGarden reminds us. The same year astrophysicist Edwin Hubble discovered that our galaxy — the Milky Way — is a small part of a vastly larger universe that also contains the @StanleyCup. https://t.co/FXkLJRjljI — PolitiTweet.org

Cute cat videos go viral instantly. Nearly seven billion smart phones in the world. Imagine video of an extraterrestrial ship landing, with aliens disembarking. I’m thinking that would go viral too. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m thinking that if Space Aliens were actively visiting Earth from across the galaxy, we would not need Congressional Hearings to establish this fact. Just sayin’. https://t.co/6log7RToMV — PolitiTweet.org

Lunar eclipses occur on average every two or three years and are visible to all the billions of people who can see the Moon when it happens. So, contrary to what you may have been told, lunar eclipses are not rare. — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
Lunar eclipses are so un-spectacular that if nobody told you what was happening to the Moon you’d probably not notice at all. Just sayin’. — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
Unlike solar eclipses, which are location-dependent, everyone on the side of Earth facing the full Moon (i.e. the Sun has set for you) can witness a lunar eclipse. — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
Decades ago, when there was more air pollution, sunsets were often beet-red. That color would refract into Earth’s shadow in space tinting the fully eclipsed Moon. Haven’t seen that effect in years. The Moon more commonly goes dark, leaving nothing “bloody” about the Blood Moon — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
Dear Earthlings currently in darkness: Right about now, the full Moon is passing into Earth’s conical shadow in space. The event is long and boring, lasting 3.5 hours. For the middle 84 minutes, the Moon is all but fully darkened as it enters the deepest part of Earth’s shadow. — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
@GuestSt18702890 @NASA @elonmusk @SpaceForceCSO @SpaceForceDoD @ScienceNews Lunar phases are just the Sun illuminaing the Moon in different amounts during the Moon’s moonthly orbit around Earth. Has nothing to do with Earth’s shadow. Occasionally, the Moon’s path enters Earth’s shadow. That can happen only during Full Moon. Behold, a Lunar eclipse. — PolitiTweet.org

@bd_zero_g @StarTalkRadio It doesn’t. That’s part of what defines our cosmic horizon. — PolitiTweet.org
