a lot of this DNC stuff is very conciliatory tonight. “love your neighbor” “we are all americans” “virtue over divisiveness” of course it’s all lies but you know they A/B tested all their messaging to find what was winning and it’s interesting this is what people want to hear — Ashley Fitzgerald (@RizomaSchool) Aug 22, …

@niall_gooch This. You may not like the guy, may even despise him, but to downplay his achievements is just… bonkers. Belittling his software acumen, especially, it’s how he made his initial fortune. Twice, if memory serves. If anything, the reverse is true. — Zatreuk (@zatreuk) Aug 21, 2024 from http://twitter.com/zatreuk via IFTTT

You don’t have to like him or his politics or even his cars but it is quite likely that in 150 years’ time he will be regarded as a genuinely transformative figure in the evolution of human spaceflight. — Niall Gooch 👍🇻🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🚅🏏✒ (@niall_gooch) Aug 20, 2024 from http://twitter.com/niall_gooch via IFTTT

@BowTiedMaker @MAstronomers Thousands of years is less than a blink. It would be like wondering why the moon isn’t in a different place when you glance out the window of a car, and glance again less than a second later. — Darcy Jae 🐝🪷 (@darcyjae) Aug 20, 2024 from http://twitter.com/darcyjae via IFTTT

@BowTiedMaker @MAstronomers Short answer is those stars are so far away that the movement of the solar system is tiny in comparison, so the perceived relative position of the constellations doesn’t change in your life time. But there are larger cycles at play and constellations are changing throug time. — bitman ∞/21M (@0xBitman) Aug 20, …

@BowTiedMaker @MAstronomers Same reason an airplane doesn’t look like it’s traveling hundreds of miles an hour when you see it in the sky. The stars are reallyyyyy far away — trurazi (@truraziofficial) Aug 20, 2024 from http://twitter.com/truraziofficial via IFTTT

@BowTiedMaker @MAstronomers I think it’s just how vast space is. I went skydiving once & found it fascinating that while I knew I was falling at high speed, at first it didn’t appear that the ground was getting closer, simply bc the distance made the fall seem so gradual. Felt like flying not falling. — …

@BowTiedMaker @MAstronomers Because the nearby stars move in similar speeds and thousands of years is not enough for any recognizable difference. Over millions of years the change will be visible. — Maetis (@Maetis) Aug 20, 2024 from http://twitter.com/Maetis via IFTTT

@BowTiedMaker @MAstronomers Because the galaxy is so gigantic that even moving at 448,000 mph the sun needs 230 million years to make one entire rotation around it, simply put, if you need a view around the entire galaxy, for it to make visible movement it needs to be shown at 100+ millions of years/seconds — …

@BowTiedMaker @MAstronomers It’s a matter of how fast we move in relation to the other stars, and the answer is very very slowly. If you had a timelapse of the sky from the last million years you’d see some movement. — Stephen Schritz (@sschritz2) Aug 20, 2024 from http://twitter.com/sschritz2 via IFTTT

@BowTiedMaker @MAstronomers The whole milky way galaxy is spinning together plus the constellations you can see with your eye only make up the nearest 2% of the galaxy. — Blackbeard Trades -Sir⚔️ (@SirRX_0) Aug 20, 2024 from http://twitter.com/SirRX_0 via IFTTT

@BowTiedMaker @MAstronomers It would take 10,000+ years to make a visible difference. We know they’re not exactly the same as they were 2000 years ago as it is. But in your lifetime?

@MAstronomers The solar system rotates around the center of the Milky Way galaxy once every 225 million years.
