Lowdown: Neil deGrasse Tyson is Sold Out, So Here are Some of His Finest Tweets

Well, Neil deGrasse Tyson, one of the most famous scientists in the world, is in Humboldt Tuesday — he will be blowing minds at the Van Duzer Theatre, if you somehow didn’t know. And, of course, the event is sold out. Planning ahead is not very Humboldt, but sometimes it pays off. 

So, for the rest of us, we will have to settle for these handful of above average tweets chosen by LoCO staff based on whether they made us go “heh” or not. Enjoy! (Other less-sold out Tuesday events below) -AG:
