Love Bill Nye ♡
Bill Nye has a bachelor of science degree he studied mechanical engineering at Cornell University (where he took an astronomy class taught by Carl Sagan) and graduated with a BS in mechanical engineering in 1977. Mechanical Engineering, is the discipline that applies engineering, physics, and materials science principles to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation of machinery. It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering disciplines. Including the study of mechanics, thermodynamics, applied mechanics, fluid mechanics and electricity. The mechanical engineering field requires an understanding of core areas including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science and structural analysis. In addition to these core principles, mechanical engineers use tools such as computer-aided design (CAD), and product life cycle management to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices, weapons, and others.
Nye occasionally returns to Cornell as a guest-lecturer of introductory-level astronomy and human ecology classes.
After graduating from Cornell, Nye worked as an engineer for the Boeing Corporation and Sundstrand Data Control near Seattle. While at Boeing, he invented a hydraulic resonance suppressor tube used on 747 airplanes, worked on business jet navigation systems and laser gyroscope systems.
Bill went on to become the CEO of The Planetary Society and helped develop sundials for the Mars Exploration Rover missions. Nye has written two best-selling books on science, including Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation in 2014 and Unstoppable: Harnessing Science to Change the World in 2015.

I accidentally wore 3D glasses. R.I.P. eyes.

Hopefully he knows more about this than he does about global warming! I doubt even he could get this wrong though I think it's pretty safe to say he runs a good chance of getting half of what he says right on this one!

[shebboleth]

Wondered how long it would take for that hate-mongering and name-calling to begin when someone disagreed with the fact that this guy is far from being a scientist or an expert on almost anything.

Bill Nye the Science Guy is now Bill Nye your moms a guy

[pillcosby]

What gender does the solar eclipse identify as though?

[heiscoming]

I only came here for the comment section. Look how many people are awake to the frauds on tell-a-vision. Its great!

Bill nye the science guy bill bill bill science rules bill bill

[xurkitri]

His hair so gray tho.







he grown so much from the tv show

[MsBest]

I lost all respect for him when he started that sex junk thing...

[ashleylovesjared]

[sdbo]

Bill broke my heart with his "gender spectrum" bullsh*t.

[loveislife-sdfm]

Love you Bill Nye. Thank you for helping my children understand and be fascinated by science.

[teardama]

It should be, Bill Nye the engineer guy. Not science guy

[lammaddness]

Why the F do you curse????!!!! You were my favorite science guy when i was 10 years old

[freeeri]

bill bye is an amazing scientist u guys have some major problems u should be respectful ur attitudes r very wrong

Hi, Bill ! Don't you know how solar eclipse occurs? Don't worry. I tell you.
Here it is: As you can see the moon lighted portion gets smaller and smaller as the distance between the sun and the moon is shorter and shorter. When the sun and the moon are concentric (parallel and one above the other( horizontal-distance between them is zero), total solar eclipse occurs. That is why you see not the moon conferrable y after the eclipse ends- they will be too close, each other.- see the definition above.
Also remember: A beautiful full moon occurs when the distance between the sun and the moon is the longest.
Both full moon and solar eclipse shall occur at least once a month for some location on earth, i guess.
So, there is no another way to explain solar eclipse and full moon..If you don't believe mee observe the moon and the sun for one month or more.
Right?thanks.
