    A stunning thin crescent Moon graces the western skies this night. A feast for the eyes, suspended in twilight.

        @neiltyson speaking of the moon, in Space Chronicles on page 86 you call the moon a planet. Did you have a reason or was it bad editing?

        @neiltyson just saw this tweet. Funny you mention it because my 5 year old daughter pointed it out to me as she marveled at how thin it was.

        @neiltyson too bad New England is shrouded in a coat of featurelessness. Not Cold nor warm. Not really cloudy. Not Precipitating. #NoWeather

        @neiltyson It was gorgeous above Perdido Key, FL as we ate shrimp with a great blue heron standing 3 ft away, begging for scraps.
