Q: What is the only known planet in the Universe to be inhabited entirely by Alien Robots? A: Mars.
June Solstice in Alaska 2026 Time Lapse: 90 minutes before Solar midnight. Elevation 3,000 ft. 100 miles south of the Arctic Circle.
June 21, 2026 - Solstice Solar midnight. Due North. Fairbanks, Alaska — two degrees south of the Arctic Circle. Sun sets for 1 hr 49 min, offering 22 hrs 11 min of daylight.
Not that anybody asked, but the last time the NY Knicks won a championship, the planet Neptune had not yet completed one orbit around the Sun since its discovery in 1846.
Not that anybody asked, but the last time the NY Knicks won a championship, Steven Spielberg had not yet made a feature-length movie about Aliens.
Not that anybody asked, but the last time the NY Knicks won a championship, the Hip Hop music genre had not yet been invented.
Just saw The Rocky Horror Show at Studio 54, NYC. Was reminded that, in the end, we learn they’re all genderfluid Space Aliens. Until the Pentagon brings out an actual alien, we’re left imagining them. And imagine them we do.
Scientifically literate dogs have always enjoyed my books. But Butters from Los Angeles may have enjoyed "Take Me To Your Leader" a little too much. Or maybe he wanted to eat the evidence of dog aliens found inside.
In LA this week? Shatner & I take our Bromance to the Saban Theater: Tues/Wed, May 19/20 futureofspace.io/the-universe-is-absurd Not in LA but still curious? Recorded an Audio Original "Cosmos Confidential" for when stuck in traffic or taking a long walk blackstonepublishing.com/products/book-ko9w
A 1-minute sample of my newfound Bromance with William Shatner… [From his backyard in Los Angeles]
Educated dogs tend to enjoy my books. Bailey from Boston got an early copy of “Take Me To Your Leader” and especially liked this sentence from Chapter 1: “What if the Alien greets you the way Earth dogs greet each other, and it simply wants to come around and sniff your butt?"
Hmmm. The current price of Platinum futures is around $2,000 per ounce. Gold, around $4,700 per ounce. This throws into question the meaning of a higher-reward Platinum vs Gold credit card.
In the “Pi-Hard” movie trailer (www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNbmoVdirxw), is that the best Alien AI could come up with? A hairy lizard-monster dropped from a vortex in the sky over my City? That scene stretched credulity. Everybody knows Reptiles have no hair.
If current cuts to the Federal Science Budget proposed by the White House are approved by Congress, that will far-and-away be the largest cut to science since the United States began funding it. Republicans & Democrats alike know there’s no surer path to Making America Not-Great.
One more: I shat with William Shatner for 5hrs in conversation in his LA backyard. We shared personal stories of our lives & careers that we’ve never before shared publicly. "Cosmos Confidential: Bill & Neil’s Excellent Bromance” neildegrassetyson.com/books/2026-02-cosmos-confidential/
A @SuperBowl Sunday Fact… In a North-South oriented football Stadium, the rotating Earth forces a kicked field goal to deflect to the right. Depending on the hang-time and distance, it can be as much as 1/3 of an inch.
A @SuperBowl Sunday Fact… If a football field were a timeline of cosmic history, cavemen to now spans the thickness of a blade of grass in the end zone.
