    My power just went out. 8:38pm ET. Lower Manhattan, East. No biggie. It's good to be in a profession that embraces the dark,

        @starstryder @badastronomer @neiltyson you're right. I predict that they would detect fewer than usually detected.

        "@neiltyson: My power just went out. 8:38pm ET." Pretty lame for a scientist to blame the blackout on an Extra-Terrestrial.
