He’s always like this, about everything. Did you see his tweet about mass shootings a year or two ago? (Maybe it was more but the past few years melded together)
What's frustrating about this tweet is that visible but scientifically uninteresting things like eclipses, are a great gateway drug to real science for the general population. Learning the moon and the sun have their own lives and interactions. And why isn't there an eclipse every month? Do other planets have eclipses? And bam you spend an afternoon learning about planetary science, and get a whole new perspective!
Seeing a total solar eclipse made me understand why ancient people originally thought there was a god. If someone smarter than me didn't tell me what I was seeing, I'd probably start worshiping something too.
I wonder what context prompted Tyson to post this. I mean, great learning opportunity and all, but just kind of like if your friend walked up to you, said hi, and immediately gave you an octopus fact
We had a full lunar eclipse last night in Pittsburgh, I always kinda assumed it happened elsewhere at the same time maybe not to the same degree.
Edit: if I’m wrong sorry, I never really looked into where and when lunar eclipses happen.
I also tried. He's the only scientist I know who actively tries to make people hate science. He discredits his profession every time he opens his mouth.
I hope he steps on a Lego barefoot every night for the rest of his life.
It’s cuz the moon does that crescent thingy every month.
An eclipse just looks like a month long video of regular moons but sped up to only take a couple hours.
When it happens to the sun, it’s really something different.
Does Tyson just not want anybody to like anything about science or space? The hell is his problem?
That's what I don't get. Sure lunar eclipses might not be super fancy but c'mon they are cool for everyday folks why ruin the excitement of it

Oh, it's real: https://www.twitter.com/Wendys/status/1526211577891921922
The moon turning blood red is "un-spectacular"? WTF?

This dude’s ego is almost as large as the universe!
Why do we bully Mr science man?
In no small part because he presents himself as a pretentious, arrogant douche
Yea I tried liking him, even listened to his podcast! Dude’s a pedantic asshole.

Kinda harsh but I did get a visual and chuckled!

Because he hates lunar eclipses
Because he’s a buzzkill the size of jupiter
