Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Last year, I was sick on St. Patrick's Day. Not a pre-holiday green beer binge, but the good ol' fashioned stomach flu. In my weakened state, I was slightly entertained with Twitter (didn't have to move much to read). I came across these green facts from the smartest guy I follow on Twitter - no offense to the rest of you but this guy is SERIOUSLY smart. So, I saved them just for this day. Here are Neil deGrasse Tyson's green truths:

OOOOH! Supermoon!

I wish this had been my view of the moon last night.

Or this.

Instead, this is what I saw.

That includes a zoom! I suppose it looked a lot bigger, but unless the moon is so close I can touch it, I wouldn't know. And if it is that close, we probably have a real problem on our hands.

I've seen some stories talking about the moon's effect on our planet. Debunked repeatedly. But if that's not enough for you, I'm going to share facts from my favorite science guy, Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Then, he decided to have a little moon fun.

Back to the real business.

So, the moon won't moon us? Interesting.
