   On Being Round. By Neil deGrasse Tyson. Natural History Magazine. March 1997. Thanks to gravity, stars and planets are spherical. So why are there pizza-shaped galaxies and potato-shaped moons? Apart from crystals and broken rocks, not much else in the cosmos naturally comes with sharp angles.

   Objective truths are universal, and they are discovered through the rigorous scientific process and through scientific consensus: “No need to revisit the question of whether Earth is round; whether the Sun is hot; whether humans and chimps share more than 98 percent identical DNA; or whether the air we breathe is 78 percent nitrogen” (15).

   It does not. Earth’s axis is tipped slightly more than one fourth of the way towards the plane of the page. When measured in angle, it amounts to about 23½°. That the round Earth rotates on a tipped axis and revolves around the Sun required millenia of the worlds greatest thinkers to unravel.

   Why is Tyson so outspoken in the new Startalk video?

   • Tyson was similarly outspoken in the new StarTalk video. He said there are people in the U.S. who believe in a flat Earth for two reasons: the country protects free speech, and its educational system doesn't teach students to think critically about the evidence. There's even more evidence that the Earth is round, Tyson said.

   Is the Earth round?

   • There's even more evidence that the Earth is round, Tyson said. During lunar eclipses, the moon passes into the Earth's shadow and lies directly opposite to the sun. The shape of the Earth's shadow is always round in these eclipses. If Earth were a flat planet, at times, you would see a flat shadow on the moon.

   Do we still believe the Earth is round?

   • We live in strange times. While some people are getting ready to send astronauts to Mars in just a few years, other people, apparently, still don’t believe the Earth is round. Although the very existence of the “flat-Earth theory” is quite discouraging, we’d like to use it in a positive way – as an exercise in critical thinking.

   What did Tyson discover?

   • Tyson further described an ancient experiment by the Greek Eratosthenes, who lived in Alexandria around 250 B.C. Eratosthenes noted that in an Egyptian city called Syene (near modern-day Aswan), you could see right to the bottom of a well at noon during the summer solstice. On the same day, you couldn't see to the bottom of a well in Alexandria.
