        @neiltyson - Wrong. Indian sages had discovered the existence of planets like Saturn & Jupiter hundreds of years ago without any telescopes.

        @neiltyson you mean "saw earth from a new perspective" right. We knew earth was there having lived on it and all.

        @BigPuppy_Stuart ..."discovered" was used as a metaphor for dramatic emphasis. You must be fun at parties

        @admkbldwn it is part of the ongoing joke that Neil can overly literal at times so I teasingly return the favor. Just being silly mate.
