Disproving 1 Through 5 Of Eric Dubay's 200 'Proofs'

Our friend Deverick Wimbush, quite the fan of science, is TRYING to debunk a Flat Earth nutter, but meeting with only dishonesty and evasiveness. Apparently, he's had about enough of it. (Some strong language)

Huckster of the Month: AntiVaxxer 'Dr' Sherri Tenpenny

Meet ‘Dr’ Sherri Tenpenny. The Encyclopedia of American Loons describes her as follows:

Let’s All Look at the Moon!

Celebrating Earth’s Nearest Neighbor

Humanity has observed the nighttime sky for millennia, eyeing celestial bodies with wonder. Until the last 50 years or so, telescopes provided our best views of the sky at night. That is, until the Ranger mission broadcast the craft’s descent onto the moon live on March 24, 1965.

Our fascination with the moon continues, and since 2010 the organizers of International Observe the Moon Night (InOMN) have turned it into a worldwide, public celebration of lunar science and exploration held annually. One day each year, they invite everyone, everywhere to learn about the moon and to celebrate the cultural and personal connections. We’ll all invited and anyone can host an InOMN event.

And, we’re doing our part to let the public know more about our moon. This month’s “What’s up” video is very moon-centric.

Organizations in our Museum Alliance across the country are also hosting activities. The Museum Alliance was created to be the “front door” to NASA for the world of informal education. The Alliance is a NASA-centric STEAM "community of practice" that includes informal educational organizations, namely, all those outside of the traditional K-12 school system. Our STEAM–Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math–communities include more than 1,400 professionals at more than 700 U.S. museums, science centers, planetariums, NASA Visitor Centers, Challenger Centers, observatories, parks, libraries, camps, and youth-serving organizations as partners in the Museum Alliance.
