    Cool. Now hosted by @IAmJohnOliver, the @TheDailyShow's opening sequence no longer portrays a backward spinning Earth.

        @neiltyson Maybe they were portraying Earth as seen from a satellite. It would seem to be rotating backwards as the satellite moved eastward

        @neiltyson @iamjohnoliver @TheDailyShow Congrats on correcting it, but given the satirical nature of the show, isnt "backwards" more apt?

        @neiltyson you said somewhere that looking through your legs at a big moon cancels it. Never seen a big moon. Does living in n-europe affct?

        @neiltyson is this due to the education that @iamjohnoliver received?, or did the power of his accent change the rotation?
