Default Neil DeGrasse Tyson headed down same loony road as Carl Sagan?

Hey guys, the celestial sphere subculture has to be one of the oddest groups ever to appear on the planet for although the RA/Dec framework shares the same 24 hour system as the Lat/Long system, the latter system is tied to the facts of a round and rotating Earth -

No doubt the theoretical priests and their best boy in the class followers will have problems with one 24 hour day being the equivalent of one rotation but subcultures will do that to you.

I would say to go ahead and enjoy part of the timekeeping story and climb out of that hole that was dug for most of you at school but such stories are only for those who can rather than those who won't or can't -
