        @coughlan616 One of my articles was tweeted by Phil Plait. It's not because I spammed him, like @thunderf00t just did, but on its merits

        @neiltyson is this also true at N and S poles? wouldn't this mean the moon is visible for 6 months of the year there?

        @neiltyson once, driving home from a gig, at approx 6am as I crested a mountain, I saw both sun & moon simultaneously. I'll never forget it.

        @neiltyson I saw the full orange moon rise into an opaque cloud layer as dark as the sky. It looked like someone sliced the top off cleanly.
