| Using this photo because it makes as much sense as Trump saying the Moon is part of Mars |
The Twitterverse is scratching its head over a tweet from “Extremely Stable Genius” Donald Trump (I know, not really a rare occasion) in which he says the Moon is part of Mars.
Note: the Moon is definitely NOT a part of Mars.
“For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon – We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!”

So this week Trump continued his feud with a dead man, picked a new one with Bette Midler, attacked a royal family member, said Ireland should build a wall on its border with N. Ireland, that he didn’t serve in Vietnam b/c it was far away, & the moon was part of Mars. Cool cool.— Matthew Miller (@matthewamiller) June 7, 2019
As JFK famously said, “We choose to go to the Moon not because it is easy, but because it is Mars”— Jason O. Gilbert (@gilbertjasono) June 7, 2019
I look forward to the news reporting on this: “Trump says that the Moon is a part of Mars. Some scientists disagree.” https://t.co/I5iEHnZN5k— Sasha Samberg-Champion (@ssamcham) June 7, 2019

Everyone knows the moon is NOT mars. Largely this is because the moon is made of cheese and mars is made of chocolate.— Molly Jong-Fast (@MollyJongFast) June 7, 2019
Imagine right now it’s your job, your actual career, to type the words “Of course, the president knows the moon is not Mars”— Chase Mitchell (@ChaseMit) June 7, 2019
The sun, the Earth and the moon lined up in a row to put on a light show in Sunday’s night sky, and people around the world looked up to watch the lunar eclipse.
The clouds here in Las Vegas obscured the view, but cool to see a bit of time lapse video here.
Any readers get a really good look at it where you are?

| July 12, 2014 – “Super moon” over Las Vegas, NV |
I took this about 10pm last night from my backyard. It hasn’t been touched by Photoshop. Clearly, I’m not a “nighttime photographer” kind of guy. Not sure what settings would have made the pic clearer, but it came out looking like a painting anyway.
Big and bright last night. I sat with a glass of chardonnay and contemplated the “Jellicle” moon for a while.
