An excited Elon Musk tweeted about how he's ready to occupy Mars, but the biggest problem was that what we're looking at in said tweet is actually a blood moon. I mean, that'd be dope too. But Twitter was ready to call him out for his funny little fail, and here we are. 

A recent study published online revealed that something is chilling about 186 miles beneath the surface of the Moon. The Twitter account for the "Destiny" video game had a point to make when CNN tweeted about it, and the thread that ensued was full of gems. 

Do we think this could be the start of something far more extraterrestrial than we ever thought possible? We should just leave that shit on the moon buried and alone. 

Lost it at furtherhencemorth! 

Let's not mess up the celebration of a miraculous human achievement. Twitter user Andrew Chael, was quick to call out people online who are taking away from the incredible achievement of his colleague, Katie Bouman. 

Science writer Jacob Margolis chronicled the end for the proud little rover. The last thing they heard from the rover was "My battery is low and it's getting dark." That is some Hollywood level drama, man. Well, it did a great job anyway, and lasted for waaaaaaay longer than we expected. Good rover.

The world isn't big enough to contain Neil Degrasse Tyson's ego. That much my tiny brain can comprehend, when faced with the overwhelming monstrosity of his knowledge...

This one is destined to set the internet (of flat-earther's) ablaze with controversy. 

I desperately need this not to be real life. How can someone go off on such a wonderfully profanity-ridden rant and still land the dream job. Damn. 

Today, history was made, as one of the world's most powerful rockets successfully carried Elon Musk's red roadster (from Tesla, mind you) into a navigable orbit around Mars. Did Elon Musk want to disprove the Flat Earther theory once and for all, or what? 

Neil DeGrasse Tyson invited a solid, unforgiving roasting on himself when he went and tweeted out a rather sassy tweet about the importance (or lack thereof) of New Year's Day. Let's just say we can't wait to see how this ridiculous little Twitter feud unfolds. 

Leave it to the brilliant mind of Neil DeGrasse Tyson to mercilessly troll the flat earthers out there with a hilariously fake image of a lunar eclipse that is quite simply, impossible.
