        @neiltyson Unless we celebrate it on other worlds simultaneously. Though eclipses (exactly twixt transit/occultation) are probably rare.

        @neiltyson Mathematically, the way you figure the day easter falls is by quasi-crystal, right?

        @neiltyson Then again, Passover always has a full moon because of the fact that the Hebrew calendar is Lunar.

        @neiltyson so not true: ecclesiastical full Moon can fall before astronomical full Moon by a day, so Easter Sunday can have an eclipse.

        @SmarterYoutube @neiltyson it's what happens if you employ clerics rather than astronomers to calculate orbits http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecclesiastical_full_moon …
