This conversation will hurt your brain.
QVC is not typically the go-to place for spirited discussions about the mysteries and marvels of space, but this week host Shawn Killinger and fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi turned it into one.
Killinger was presenting a "Cherry Blossom Print Boyfriend Cardigan" design by Mizrahi which she thinks looks like the Earth "when you're a bazillion miles away from the planet moon."
And from this point forward we realize our education system has failed us, at least in the science department.
"From the planet moon…" repeats Mizrahi.
"Isn't the moon a star?" she asks, questioning herself.
"No the moon is a planet darling," he says, but Killinger isn't so sure anymore.
"The sun is a star. Is the moon really a planet?" She wonders.
It goes on like this for while. They get people to Google it for them off camera, and Killinger makes a joke about having a blonde moment.
Maybe QVC can book Neil deGrasse Tyson next week to set everyone straight, and while he's at it, pitch his own line of celestial vests and ties.

In Egyptian religion, Temu was the Sun of night.
Heh ... Heinlein was right that the franchise needs to be restricted ... I don't agree with the method he suggests. I'm not sure he did, either, though it made for a well crafted novel.
Ignore the trolls.
... and thank goodness for that, because at only 250,000 miles away even a dwarf sun would cause serious Global Warming.
Neil deGrasse Tyson would be perfect because he is as fake as the other crap on QVC.
I watch the QVC fashions while I wash the dishes because I am tired of getting surprised by scenes shoved in my face that Billy Crystal has gotten tired of too.
Meanwhile, I went to the Lowell Observatory the other day (and loved it) and learned the scientific symbol for Uranus, is just like you thought it might be.
Let me guess: “Be sure to tip your waitstaff”... and you’ll be here all week...

Yep, go to lay off binge watching Quacker Factory. Another failed attempt.
You forgot the rimshot.
I did notice that his first doctoral dissertation committee dissolved itself. Bit of a red flag, that.
Agreed.
My first day of Astronomy 110 at IU (which I took for the sole purpose of fattening my GPA for law school), a girl in the class asked whether there were any stars between the earth and the moon. My thought was “just the ones circling your pretty vacuous head, my dear.” I always wondered what happened to her.
Now I know. She got a job at QVC.
The moon is a planette.
A small plane?
Wait... I spelled it wrong.
“M-O-O-N spells Moon”.
That and if he were white he wouldn’t be acclaimed, he would be working at a Lubys.
That’s not just ignorant, that’s naked singularity ignorant!That level of stupid , in 2015, is the reason people are hooked on their ‘smart phones’. The machines ARE smarter and the people are too lazy and brainless to use them to LEARN anything. I’m sorry- anyone this brainless should be sterilized.
The expression I like is “So dense that light bends around them.”
