Serious question: who is surprised to learn the moon is far away from earth? How is this a SURPRISING fact? pic.twitter.com/LwqVB6dlH9

"Is this sun big?" is apparently one of the smartest questions asked by the nation's smartest thinkers at @voxdotcom pic.twitter.com/0SY6bvfsrj

Did you not know the sun was big? Did you also not know the moon is far away? If so, you might be really, really dumb.

@seanmdav If the moon is so far away how come I can see it?

@seanmdav Also the weather can change. Sometimes it's warm, sometimes it's cold. #Science

@seanmdav It's written for (by?) people who have literally never given these things a second's thought.

@Matthops82 @seanmdav I bet Vox can't tell us why the moon and sun appear to be the same size in the sky.

@seanmdav well you can see how big it is at night. How far away can it be?

@seanmdav These people f***ing LOVE science, Sean. They really do.
