poupak asked: could you tell me how to do that?? I have been struggling with maintaining separate, unlinked accounts - thanks!!

I got a couple question regarding this. Under the account you want to link other accounts to, click on “Members” (under “Followers” on the right hand side). Type in the email of the tumblr account in which you would also like to have access to. It will send you an email (make sure to log into your tumblr account that’s connected to that email address), click on the link and you’ll gain access!

Neil deGrasse Tyson is behind the only major technical change in theTitanic re-release

It took James Cameron 60 weeks to prepare Titanic for its rerelease, but apart from remastering the original at 4k resolution and converting it to stereoscopic 3D, nothing about the movie has really changed.
Well, almost nothing.
According to Cameron: “Neil deGrasse Tyson sent me quite a snarky email saying that, at that time of year [April 15, at 4:20 am], in that position in the Atlantic in 1912, when Rose is lying on the piece of driftwood and staring up at the stars, that is not the star field she would have seen.”
“And with my reputation as a perfectionist, I should have known that and I should have put the right star field in. So I said ‘All right, send me the right stars for that exact time and I’ll put it in the movie.’”
So Tyson did just that, and Cameron re-shot the scene. According to the Telegraph , it is the only major technical change in the film’s re-release.

March 29th A NASA spacecraft has captured video of a massive solar “tornado” five times wider than the Earth twisting its way across the surface of the sun.
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) looked on as the huge, swirling storm raged on Sept. 25, 2011, spinning solar gas at speeds up to 186,000 mph, researchers said. Here on Earth, tornado wind speeds top out at around 300 mph (483 kph).
