@RmbaileyRob Nice, but surely accomplished with a zoom or telephoto lens. At least 200mm. Any full moon looks good that way. Photograph it with an ordinary lens and it impresses nobody. — PolitiTweet.org

Where did the SuperMoon go? I ate it with @chucknicecomic. https://t.co/VvkUYgWwRm — PolitiTweet.org

Ever look up at night and feel small? Don't. Instead feel large. Atoms in our body trace to remnants of exploded stars. We are Stardust. We are alive in the universe, and the universe is alive within us. RIP Margaret Burbidge (1919-2020) Co-discoverer of Stellar Nucleosynthesis. https://t.co/mIPwozz1zR — PolitiTweet.org

@luckyrogerdiam1 Monthly Lunar perigee varies by about 3% on the year. The distance you quote, which the Moon reaches in a few minutes (at 2:08PM ET) is the shortest in 2020, but Feburary 2019 beat it and December 2021 will do so too. — PolitiTweet.org

Peek at the Math? Not quite Tribbles, but with unlimited access to food and no predators, rabbits can increase their population by as much as 30% per month — a factor of 1.3. Raise that 1.3 to the power of how many months you want to project forward. Behold exponential growth. https://t.co/bInybUV5xF — PolitiTweet.org

@cgartist2001 Access to each other. All the food they want. No predators. That’s about it. — PolitiTweet.org

**Exponential Leporidae** Left unchecked, 1,000 rabbits in 5 years, become 7-billion, the human population of the World. After 15 years, a "land-ocean” of rabbits fills to one-kilometer depth across all of Earth’s continents. Viruses can reproduce waaaay faster than Rabbits. https://t.co/FQhectQG3d — PolitiTweet.org

@Fatboy6smit Agreed. But you probably mean Robert Hooke, rather than T.J. Hooker. — PolitiTweet.org

@FME1964 @Faboune57 It’s large and gnarly. And nobody eats the apples. But it’s "Flower of Kent”, if you’re interested in the variety. — PolitiTweet.org

@Faboune57 Yup. In his back yard in Lincolnshire, England. It’s still there. See my earlier Tweets for a photo. — PolitiTweet.org

I pause to salute First Responders and Medical Professionals who daily interpose themselves between the rest of us and danger, disaster, & disease. https://t.co/spfpqmTPmD — PolitiTweet.org

@DJMusgrove @rlcjones No doubt, Medieval folk knew more than we give them credit for. But I maintain that compared with today, or any time in the era of modern science, they lived in profound ignorance of Nature. — PolitiTweet.org

@DJMusgrove If knowing little or nothing about Tides-Storms-Tsunamis-Volcanos-Earthquakes-Climate-Evolution-Physiology-Vision-Cells-Viruses-Bacteria-Microbes-Nutrition-Fossils-Extinction-Light-Gravity-Atoms-Elementary Particles, means to you "knowing a thing or two” about Nature, then okay. — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
“Disaster" A prescientific word meaning "Bad Star” from a time of profound ignorance of nature, when misfortune was commonly blamed on cosmic events. Would be true of a killer asteroid. But control of a killer virus? The fault is not in our stars but in ourselves. https://t.co/7gOiwu63Ha — PolitiTweet.org

@cockycat @jilltarter @SethShostak @michaelianblack Just spitballing here, but maybe snakes don’t have armpits because they don’t have arms. — PolitiTweet.org

@phacus @jilltarter @SethShostak @michaelianblack In English, “fishes” is a double plural — referencing multiple varieties of multiple fish. — PolitiTweet.org

Do intelligent aliens populate the Galaxy? Do fishes show up in a cup of water randomly drawn from the Ocean? That’s how little we’ve searched. A topic briefly explored with SETI’s @jilltarter, @SethShostak, and with @michaelianblack [Video: 5 min] https://t.co/UzFk2Sqzq9 — PolitiTweet.org

@Dawn_Kopecki Not me on instagram. I tend to be less profound in that medium. Posting mostly pretty pictures. Just look for the blue “verified” check mark. https://t.co/DGsqffiWfo — PolitiTweet.org

In 1991 Marvel introduced a Thor’s Hammer trading card declaring Mjölnir to be made of the Asgardian metal Uru, weighing 42.3 lbs — but they didn’t specify where in the universe. That weight on the Mars moon Deimos, for example, corresponds to 140,000 pounds on Earth. https://t.co/v984LzCJYr — PolitiTweet.org

As a scientist, I lean Avengers universe, if only because many of their superheroes started as scientists, or derive their powers from authentically fictional (rather than fantastically magical) science concepts. https://t.co/eSdGhmU9Pq — PolitiTweet.org

Not that anybody asked, but Superman's Krypton home star system is LHS-2520, an actual red dwarf star in the southern constellation of Corvus, The Crow. But also, a Crow is the Mascot of Smallville High. https://t.co/qkvuHbYTCI https://t.co/WYtczdJOIB — PolitiTweet.org

Don't mean to brag, but Superman once visited my office at the Hayden Planetarium in Metropolis. When I met him, he was very nice to me and my staff. (Action Comics, Vol 2. No.14) https://t.co/dNDnZua6mH — PolitiTweet.org

If Bruce Banner retains his original mass when he expands to become the Hulk, then his body must become less dense. If so, then in his Hulked state, he'd have the density of a champagne cork. I’m just sayin’. https://t.co/XOielzut72 — PolitiTweet.org

@2ManyOfUs @Kaibutsu But it’s still a cool math chart. — PolitiTweet.org

Seems to me, if Thor is a god, with godlike powers, then he doesn't really need big muscles. https://t.co/4JC4LbGWeT — PolitiTweet.org
