Neil deGrasse Tyson shuts down ‘flat Earth’ theory once and for all

Neil deGrasse Tyson isn’t here for the flat-Earthers.

It’s 2017, and there are still somehow people who believe that the Earth is flat. But Tyson has one image he’d like them to see, and it’s one they’re not likely to see in real life.

“A Lunar Eclipse flat-Earther’s have never seen,” the astrophysicist captioned the image, which shows the shadow on the moon of what a flat earth would look like: a single line against the face of the moon itself.

Since the Earth isn’t, in fact, flat, we’re not likely to see a lunar eclipse that looks like that. Ever.
