Neil deGrasse Tyson: The Sun Doesn’t Always Rise In The East
Everyone’s heard the phrase “The Sun rises in the East and sets in the West.” But, how true is it? Well, in this video, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice investigate this popular phrase and the meaning behind it.
You’ll learn why the phrase is “broadly true but not true most of the time.” Neil tells us the one zone on Earth where the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West all the time. Then we ask, what happens if you live in the Arctic? And we explore why, when you’re on the North or South poles, “the sun rises everywhere.” Discover more about the term “solstice.”
We ponder the binary-star system from Star Wars and Neil tells us why that’s not exactly how things work. Lastly, we explore how the arc of the sun has been the foundation for many celebrations across history. All that, plus, we break down “Manhattanhenge.”
