Though I'm Bronx native, as an astrophysicist I can't hate a team named after space exploration. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
Congratulations to the Houston @Astros for defeating my hometown New York @Yankees in the @MLB ALCS. Back in 1965, @NASA’s Manned Spacecraft Center, located in Houston, Texas, inspired the name of the Astrodome, the Astroturf it contained, and the baseball team that played on it https://t.co/drrfL0yBUw — PolitiTweet.org

Not a big book buyer, but have nothing else to do when stuck in morning traffic? If interested, Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization also lives as an audio book, which I narrated. Here’s a free sample, the entire Preface. [Audio: 3 min] https://t.co/6j6dwl4MDx — PolitiTweet.org

As stunning an image of our nearby universe as I have seen. Deep within the Eagle Nebula, find the “Pillars of Creation,” a stellar nursery made famous by the Hubble Telescope. Now laid bare by the infrared cameras of the @NASAWebb telescope. https://t.co/3XYXc1vQr1 — PolitiTweet.org

This season, the salaries of the two highest paid New York @Yankees players combined is about the same as the entire payroll of the @CleGuardians. https://t.co/dGzPkbDTNJ — PolitiTweet.org

Looks like Halloween anticipation began early this year. A full month of it. If that’s the new normal, it means going forward we’ll be thinking about spooky, scary stuff for 1/12 of our lives. https://t.co/0ZmDCNR3fO — PolitiTweet.org

Very last Mach-talk... The top speed of Speed Racer’s car, the Mach 5 was Mach 0.33 https://t.co/XkU1oKLbCN — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
Last Mach-talk... The top speed of the @FordMustang, 5-Liter, V-8 car they call “Mach 1” is Mach 0.2 https://t.co/l9fXe8x9qX — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
Even more Mach-talk… The @NASA orbiting International @Space_Station travels 17,000 mph in the near-vacuum of space. While that’s 22x the speed of sound (at sea-level & room temperature), it’s not Mach-anything. The ISS is not traveling through a medium that has a sound-speed. — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
More Mach-talk… “Mach,” in reference to speeds relative to sound, is named for the nineteenth-century Austrian philosopher-physicist Ernst Mach who, among other subjects, researched shock waves in air, which we more commonly call sonic booms. — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
Mach-Talk... Your speed relative to the speed of sound in the medium you are traveling is called your Mach Number. Mach-1 is the speed of sound. Mach-2 is 2x the speed of sound, etc. At Mach-1 and higher you create a sonic boom. High Mach numbers cause more energetic booms. — PolitiTweet.org

October 9, 2022 Full Moon tonight -- rising at sunset, setting at sunrise. Had this October Moon occurred three days earlier, it would have fallen closer to the September equinox than did the September Full Moon, and would have then earned this year’s title of Harvest Moon. https://t.co/uQoYmJy4lX — PolitiTweet.org

In this year’s @TopGunMovie, they dangerously fly under the radar, through a narrow, winding canyon to destroy a target, avoiding multiple banks of surface-to-air missiles. But why not first take out the missile banks? Could then fly without daredevil maneuvers. Just sayin’. https://t.co/2FYyUjJdp1 — PolitiTweet.org

When Maverick ejected at Mach 10.5, he was going 7,000 mph, giving him 400 million joules of kinetic energy — the explosive power of 100 kg of TNT. A situation that human physiology is not designed to survive. So, no. Maverick does not walk away from this. He be dead. Very dead. — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
At supersonic speeds, air cannot smoothly part for you. You must pierce it, which largely accounts for the difference in fuselage designs between subsonic and supersonic planes. For this reason, the air on your body, if ejecting at these speeds, might as well be a brick wall. https://t.co/psN8aoAT2e — PolitiTweet.org
Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
Late to the party here, but In this year’s @TopGunMovie, @TomCruise’s character Maverick ejects from a hypersonic plane at Mach 10.5, before it crashed. He survived with no injuries. At that air speed, his body would splatter like a chainmail glove swatting a worm. Just sayin’. https://t.co/YP9IKVc8VS — PolitiTweet.org

Can’t find Jupiter in the sky tonight? Maybe you’ve yet to look. It’s there. It’s bright Locate it nearby the nearly full Moon. Six decades in the making. Hear its tune. By Jove you’ll see it. Make sure to get a view. The sky belongs to us all. Both me and you. — PolitiTweet.org

This past week @NASA celebrated its 64th birthday. From the Mercury Seven to Apollo to the Mars Rovers to the Hubble & Webb Space Telescopes, you’ve committed your life to bringing the Universe down to Earth by turning space into our collective backyard. Thank You. https://t.co/xoZmCS3RBD — PolitiTweet.org

Happy 65th B’day Sputnik — “Fellow Traveller.” Launched by the USSR Oct 4, 1957 At the time, the United States lost its shit. Not because we hadn’t yet launched anything, but because a hollowed-out Intercontinental Ballistic Missile shell delivered the little satellite to orbit. https://t.co/eefSJgKmgT — PolitiTweet.org
