    On @TheDailyShow this evening. Lots of meteor-speak & Jon fixes the backward-rotating Earth in the opening credits. Be there.

        @neiltyson @TheDailyShow Maybe the TDS Earth is correct, and the real Earth is backwards

        Actually, @neiltyson, I think that the backwards-rotating earth is far more accurate, all things considered... @TheDailyShow

        @neiltyson The frame of reference for the @TheDailyShow Earth could be from a counter-rotation satellite faster than the earth's rotation.
