Science snuggles.
My OTP
Is Neil totally fanboying Bill? I think so.
SCIENCE BROS!
Hah. That is amazing. In the hypothetical universe where I knew how to draw comic books, I would make a comic book where Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson were superheroes who had jovial antics and saved the world with SCIENCE!

Neil deGrasse Tyson is behind the only major technical change in theTitanic re-release
It took James Cameron 60 weeks to prepare Titanic for its rerelease, but apart from remastering the original at 4k resolution and converting it to stereoscopic 3D, nothing about the movie has really changed.
Well, almost nothing.
According to Cameron: “Neil deGrasse Tyson sent me quite a snarky email saying that, at that time of year [April 15, at 4:20 am], in that position in the Atlantic in 1912, when Rose is lying on the piece of driftwood and staring up at the stars, that is not the star field she would have seen.”
“And with my reputation as a perfectionist, I should have known that and I should have put the right star field in. So I said ‘All right, send me the right stars for that exact time and I’ll put it in the movie.’”
So Tyson did just that, and Cameron re-shot the scene. According to the Telegraph , it is the only major technical change in the film’s re-release.
So, okay, I know this is a stupid reaction to an interesting movie story…but I really like Neil deGrasse Tyson’s vest in this picture. With all those celestial bodies on it. Like, if I wrote him, I wonder if he would tell me where he got that vest, and then I would buy it and call it “my Neil deGrasse Tyson vest,” and wear it on days when I really needed to feel smart and cool.
I should go to bed, I’m getting silly.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1uv78usf51qe649zo1_500.jpg)
