That sound you just heard was Neil Degrasse Tyson slapping himself in the head.
A couple of QVC hosts have set modern science back by several centuries with this 30-second argument about whether the moon was a planet or a star. “What is the answer?”, you’re hopefully not asking?
Neither. The answer is neither. The moon is a freaking moon, or a “natural satellite” if you want to get technical about it.
It’s tough not to love the guy’s confidence here, though. He is so sure that the moon is a planet, and it takes the great scientist “Chunky” to convince him otherwise. Hey, if you’re going to be wrong, at least own it.
