Just an FYI: The year 1980 is as far in today's past as 1947 was to 1980. — PolitiTweet.org

@JeffreySchwab:You don't consider the iPhone as significant as the moon launch? // iPhone came to last decade, not this one. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

If nothing important happens this decade, it'll be remembered as the 50th anniversary of stuff that happened in the 1960s. — PolitiTweet.org

If you want to assert a truth, first make sure it's not just an opinion that you desperately want to be true. — PolitiTweet.org

.@homer2680: Driving 600 mi tonight. Can you recommend a good podcast? // **StarTalk Radio** on iTunes. But I may be biased — PolitiTweet.org

If Bears ruled the world, I wonder if they would care whether or not the Humans they mauled were free-range. — PolitiTweet.org

Science literacy is less about what you know & more about how your brain is wired for asking questions. — PolitiTweet.org

@moonpolysoft Referencing the #smartass hashtag? Was part of the fellow's original tweet. Have a closer look at the threads. — PolitiTweet.org

@BrentSpiner: Will miss you during your hiatus. But I'd bet the Twitterverse will call to you, like Sirens calling to sailors — PolitiTweet.org

.@TheDubWoody: Shouldn't it be "Just a FYI"? #smartass // No. The spoken letter F begins with a vowel: "ef", requiring "an". — PolitiTweet.org

Just an FYI: All beautiful photographs you've ever seen of the Super Moon were taken with a Super Telephoto lens. — PolitiTweet.org

Are you a Tide weenie? I wrote an essay called "The Tidal Force" some years ago: [2,000 words] http://t.co/EVUodTrfCu — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

Not only is Earth's rotation slowly slowing down, but the Moon's orbit is spiraling away from us by about 2-inches per year. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

And not to disturb anybody, but Tides cause friction between Earth's crust and the sloshing oceans, slowing down our rotation — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

The Sun's tides are only about 1/3 that of the Moon's, so even during the canceling quarter phases, some Moon-tide remains. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

During half-moons (1st & 3rd quarter), the Lunar & Solar tides add out of phase, partly canceling one another. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

The tides during Full (and New) Moon are highest **only** because that's when the Sun's tides add directly to them. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

While we're on the subject: The Moon's capacity to raise tides on Earth is no greater when Full than at any other phase. — PolitiTweet.org

FYI:Moon's orbit around Earth is oval. Distance varies by about 10%. When Moon is Full & "close", some call it the Super Moon — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

The perennially hyped name "Super Moon" insults the legacy of Superman, Super Volcanoes, Supernovae, and even Super Mario. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

Okay to call tonight's Full Moon "super", but only if you would call a 13-inch pizza "super" compared with a 12-inch pizza. — PolitiTweet.org

In England, some European festivals, & at least one Shakespeare play, the Summer Solstice is more sensibly called "Midsummer" — PolitiTweet.org
