        @neiltyson Did you remember to use cos(lat)? :) #JustChecking [I did a similar calc researching my first book. That was fun.]

        @BadAstronomer @neiltyson Should be sin(lat) or cos(colat), no? Vanishes at equator.

        @brianwolven @neiltyson It depends on how you calculate it. I was thinking in terms of rotational velocity, which goes as cos(lat).

        @BadAstronomer @neiltyson Context is important, as always. Which is why most scientific collaborations are not conducted on Twitter. ;)

        @neiltyson Wouldn't the calculation depend on the latitude of the stadium?
