Happy 77th Birthday, Ernö Rubik
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My first cube was in 1980. Spent a week solving it, when I surely should have been doing something else. Got below 5-mins after a month. I’ve had one on my desk ever since.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
p.s. Those Mutton Chops were in style back then. Just sayin’.

I've never owned a badass motorcycle. But if I did, this is how I would pose on it.

If you are refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19, maybe it's because you are getting your medical advice from news pundits, fearmongers, conspiracy theorists, and other deeply misinformed people, rather than from Medical Professionals.

In any case, Happy 77th Birthday, Ernö Rubik, born July 13, 1944

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - If I had any singing talent and if I knew how to write love songs and if I recorded them, then this would be my album cover.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - ROTFL with Elenasto
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ever notice how enthusiastic your dog can be? In life expectancy, a single day for humans corresponds to a week for dogs. Maybe they know this. And maybe that's why they make every day count.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
FYI: Elenasto (a co-woorker's Support Dog) means “Stardust” in Quenyan Elvish.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - In @barbiethemovie, the Moon's orientation places Barbie World between 20 & 40 degrees North Latitude on Earth. Palm trees further constrain latitude to between 20 & 30 degrees. The Sun & Moon rose and set over the ocean. If it’s in the US, Barbie World lands somewhere in the Florida Keys.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - Isaac Newton's Woolsthorpe Manor Home, England, where he retreated to escape the 1665 Bubonic Plague. While there he discovered the laws of gravity, which apply everywhere in the universe except, apparently, at his famous Flower-of-Kent apple tree, out back.

What flat-Earthers fear most is Sphere itself

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - As humans, we like to think we're in charge of our own corner of the universe. But every now and then a microscopic entity reminds us that we are not.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - Santa doesn’t know Zoology:

Both male & female Reindeer grow antlers. But all male Reindeer lose their antlers in the late fall, well-before Christmas.

So Santa’s Reindeer, which all sport antlers, are therefore all female, which means Rudolf has been misgendered.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - A force of nature unto himself, he lived and breathed social justice — as citizen, activist, & long-time Member of Congress.

Happy 93rd trip around the Sun moonwalker Buzz Aldrin. And congratulations on the nuptials. Both, welcomed events en route to getting “Your Ass to Mars.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For those among you who, after all these years, still carry a grudge about my role in Pluto’s demotion, please know that since then, Pluto & I have become good friends.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So if Pluto can handle the truth, then so can you.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First signs of life on Mars, from @NASA’s #ingenuity helicopter, or not.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - Three years ago, this week “Astrophysics for People in A Hurry” was published. The book would debut at No. 1 on the NYTimes bestseller list and spend an additional 13 weeks in that slot.

More importantly, it would be translated into 43 languages around the world and enjoy an 83-week run on the list, bobbing up & down like a cork in the tidewaters of books, especially those laced with political vitriol.

In these tribalistic and divisive times, perhaps it’s a sign that science literacy is still alive out there, offering a beacon of hope for us all — to save us from ourselves.

It has been a privilege to write for all those who know they are cosmically curious, as well as for all those who enjoy reminders that they once were.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To followers, past, present, & future, thank you for your perennial interest in my efforts to bring the universe down to earth.

Respectfully Submitted,

Neil deGrasse Tyson
New York City

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Oct 20, 2021 — Full Moon today.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
FYI: The strength of the Moon’s tides on Earth have nothing to do with the Moon’s phase.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During Full Moon, the (weaker) Sun tides add directly to the Moon’s, leaving us all to think the Full Moon itself exacts magic forces on Earth. It does not.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Right now, in the USA, 99% of people being hospitalized & dying from COVID-19 are those who chose not to be vaccinated.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This confirms that whoever’s been advising you to decline the Vaccine, does not value your health or longevity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A form of biological “unnatural” selection.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - Comet NEOWISE through my telescope. Yes, it’s still there. Currently exiting the inner solar system at 100,000 mph — tail first, of course, since comet tails always point away from the Sun.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you miss it in the next few weeks, not to worry, it returns in 6,800 years.

Happy Birthday dude!

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - A shout out to New Zealand, one of the most beautiful countries I’ve ever visited. Perhaps the only location on Earth (Middle or otherwise) to locate the mythical Hobbiton, in the Shire. A place of peace & tranquility, where having a “second breakfast” might be the most controversial decision a Hobbit makes in a day. (July 2017)

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes I wonder whether alien space vessels are inherently fuzzy & out-of-focus (that would be terrifying). And whether they love the @USNavy (that would be charming).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If so, it would explain a lot.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PROPHESY: When AI perfects deep-fakes of people, places, & things, no news will be trusted. Even those who previously believed fake news will think their fake news is faked. At that moment a tear in the spacetime continuum will open and swallow all social media from the internet.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - We assemble Into tribes based on politics, religion, skin color, language, education, birthplace, wealth, & gender expression. Yet COVID-19 reminds us we’re all the same.

The virus doesn’t discriminate, even if we do.

On this, the 78th anniversary of the plutonium fission bomb dropped on Nagasaki, I teared multiple times while watching the film #Oppenheimer. Bearing witness to my physics brethren, some reluctant, some enthusiastic, create weapons of mass destruction.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - Sunset on the World Trade Center’s North Tower, viewed from the World Financial Center. The Sun takes (took) about two minutes to set for all 107 floors, one floor at a time.

If you could run up the stairwell, one floor per second, while looking out the window, you would literally stop the Sun, until you ran our of breath or ran out of floors, losing the Sun for the night. [June 2001, New York City]

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love the smell of the Universe in the morning.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Christopher Nolan’s attention to detail in #Oppenheimer was so thorough, that I’m giving him a hall pass on this one:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5:30am July 16, 1945, Los Alamos, New Mexico is in full dawn of summer twilight. The entire sky would have already been daytime blue. But cinematically, the atomic bomb explosion looks more striking against the dark of night.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - Like an invasion of hostile space aliens, COVID-19 Is attacking the human species and won’t negotiate with anyone. It cares not of your nationality, ideology, politics, or religion. This enemy of us all requires a cooperative global effort to combat, guided by the methods and tools of science and not by magical thinking.j

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - My first “mirror-selfie”. Circa 1973. Age 15. Honeywell-Pentax SP500, 55mm SMC-Takumar lens, bought with money earned from walking other people’s dogs. An SLR with removable lens allowed the camera body, with adapters, to swap with a telescope eyepiece, for taking pictures of the universe. And yes, that Afro was in style back then.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - Mind over Matter

Known as Beta Waves, when focused on a task, the frontal lobe of my (and your) Brain fire billions of neurons that can be measured electromagnetically at the surface of my forehead. The device converts and delivers the signal to a Bluetooth-activated switch, triggered to turn on when the "focus meter" hits 90 out of 99. Invented by Trent Johnson, an AV tech I met in Asheville, North Carolina after a public talk I delivered there. [Video: 30 sec]

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - Seems to me, if you can get the citizens of a Democracy to no longer agree on what is objectively true in the world, then you have conquered them with all the strength of an invading army.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - A color photo with no color in it — just shades of sepia. My living room suspension lamp designed by Artemide, for which the light source may be more intriguing than whatever it’s trying to illuminate. For me, the interplay of light and shade evokes close-up @NASA images of Saturn’s ring system, casting shadows on Saturn itself.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - Not that anybody asked, but laid end-to-end @jeffbezos’ 200-Billion dollars can circle Earth 180 times, then reach the Moon & back 30 times — and with what’s left over, make a stack 10 kilometers high.

On that same day it was cold in Texas, and millions of people lost electricity from a failure in the state's power grid.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - As an astrophysicist, I know how and why the Sun generates energy in its core. But I nontheless well-up at the sight of a majestic sunset, which brings out the poet in us all. ("Twelve Apostles" rock formation. The Great Oean Road, Australia. August 2015)

March 2023 marks the 50th anniversary release of @PinkFloyd's legendary album Dark Side of the Moon.

And I’ve spend 50 years undoing the misconception it has caused.

The Moon has a far side, but no dark side -- nor is it “all dark”. On the Moon, the day/night cycle lasts a month.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - A caption to this post is unnecessary.

$Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Merry Equinox to all residents of planet Earth. On this day, Earth’s tilted axis points neither towards nor away from the Sun. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Astronomically, that gives us Spring, north of the equator, and Autumn, south of it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of nighttime - worldwide. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But if you check your sunrise/sunset tables, you will notice slightly more than 12 hours of sunlight for today. Mostly caused by the refraction of sunlight entering Earth’s atmosphere from space. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you see the Sun rise or set, what you actually see is the location of the Sun’s refracted light, and not the location of the Sun itself, adding multiple minutes of unearned daylight — daily — that wouldn't otherwise be there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [Sunset over the Grand Canyon (NDTyson 1973).
