Possible evidence that Cows want to jump over the Moon: To the astrophysicist’s ear, they're actually saying Moooooon. https://t.co/tH7LnTbj7b — PolitiTweet.org

Since 1972, when the correction was first introduced, 27 Leap Seconds have been added to the calendar, driven primarily by Moon-induced friction from oceanic tides sloshing on the shores. https://t.co/Z4iiVf8LuC — PolitiTweet.org

Not that anybody asked, but the Moon’s orbit is spiraling away from Earth at a rate of nearly 1.5 inches (4 cm) per year. In response, Earth’s rotation rate is slowly slowing, necessitating a Leap Second to be added to the calendar, every now and then. — PolitiTweet.org

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday are named for the Norse Gods: Tiw, Woden, Thor (yes, Thor) & Frigga. But if you reference those days in any Romance language you recover their Classical planet names. — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
With names traceable to the seven “classical” planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the Sun, & Moon, the seven days of the week include Monday, named for our precious Moon. Now guess who in the universe Saturday & Sunday are named after. — PolitiTweet.org

In case you’ve ever wondered, our Moon is not nameless in the universe. Its official Latin term is LUNA. And for the rest of us: Earth = TERRA. Sun = SOL — PolitiTweet.org

Had enough Moon tweets? Or can you tolerate more? — PolitiTweet.org

Not that anybody asked, but @JeffBezos' 150-Billion dollars, can stack four miles high. And with what’s left over, if laid end-to-end, can circle Earth 178 times, and then reach the Moon…and back…twenty times. And it still leaves a half-million dollars for him to play with. https://t.co/sSBctkgMlk — PolitiTweet.org

Our atmosphere is not only good to breathe, it shields us from meteors, keeping Earth's surface from looking like the Moon’s. https://t.co/WG63cmRL5L — PolitiTweet.org

On the Moon, where the is no air, airplanes, helicopters, and birds would behave no differently than tossed bricks. — PolitiTweet.org

Turns out, there was never a Man in the Moon, only a Woman in the Moon. And her name is Wilma. [Video: 1 min 15 sec ] https://t.co/uPT53K8tdW — PolitiTweet.org

If chefs ever prepared food on the Moon, their dishes would surely be interesting, but their restaurants would have no atmosphere. — PolitiTweet.org

In the tropics, the Sun sets vertical to the horizon; Twilight doesn’t last very long; and the Full Moon rises shortly after sunset, 180-degrees away. All exquisitely captured in this 2010 @Corona Light Beer commercial. [Video: 30 sec] https://t.co/hQzlclVJSH — PolitiTweet.org

Regardless of what Pink Floyd ever told you, there is no “Dark Side of the Moon" — all sides receive sunlight. Lunar days last a month. But there is, however, a permanent Far Side & Near Side. https://t.co/oRxPPrQx9W — PolitiTweet.org

Compared with Crescent Moons, Half Moons, and Full Moons, the awkward, in-between Gibbous phase is hardly ever portrayed in Artwork. https://t.co/7z6jyHgshf — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
FYI: What most people see and call “Half Moon” is the Moon 1/4 or 3/4 of the way through its phases. Professionally we call these the First & Last Quarter Moons. — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
Due to some intriguing optical properties of reflection from textured surfaces, the Full Moon is 6x brighter than the Half Moon. — PolitiTweet.org

@Alloyjane See earlier tweet on Tides. — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
Always wondered why Werewolves transition only upon **noticing** the Moon is Full. Never in the basement, or when there’s a Full Moon during a cloudy, overcast night. https://t.co/omWk5LX628 — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
FYI: Full Earth seen from the Moon is about 60x brighter than full Moon on Earth. Earth is not only bigger in the sky, but with clouds and ice and oceans, much shinier than the Moon, itself about as reflective as the sidewall of a car tire. — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
The Full Moon exerts no more gravity on you than does any other phase. So Lunatics have no real excuse. — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
The appearance of a huge Moon on the horizon, juxtaposed behind cityscapes or mountains or trees is called the Moon-on-Horizon illusion. It’s actually no bigger than when higher in the sky. Yup. It really is just an illusion. — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
Full Moon tonight. Little Known Fact:: Tides raised on Earth by the Moon alone are roughly the same size no matter the phase. But at new & full Moon, solar tides add to lunar tides, which is what makes them larger. https://t.co/n6NPgWcEIX — PolitiTweet.org

Twice a year, the setting Sun renders New York City's urban canyons aglow in fiery light. Crowds gather. Traffic stalls. Behold Manhattanhenge. [Video: 6min] https://t.co/fzbaAB9eIu https://t.co/ZFSUpK40WQ — PolitiTweet.org
