        @neiltyson Is it true the moon has "land tides," or is my husband messing with me again?

        @AliceDreger @neiltyson Yep, any pair will create tidal forces. It's easier to see the effect with seas or large bodies like Jupiter & IO.

        @neiltyson enjoyed your tidal read, but saying there is no dark side of the moon is like saying there is no night. Always a dark side.
