I Give You: A Little Faith In Humanity

Neil deGrasse Tyson, known astrophysicist and host of Star Talk, has always been one to tell it as it is.
He spares no words.
He caters to no bias.
Facts are facts.
And that is that.
He is known throughout the scientific and geek/nerd worlds for his sense of humor and his ability to relate to the "average joe".
He is a teacher and an inspiration.

Another thing that most people know about him is that he is, not to put a definite label on him, a humanist.
He cares for his fellow human beings along with the world we all share.
His heart is evident in everything he does and says.

Recently, there was a massacre in Orlando, FL.
This massacre targeted the LGBT community specifically.
50 people were killed and 53 were injured.
Neil took to Twitter to honor those who have lost their lives.
He did not, however, post a generic, "I am sorry for your loss" or "Our thoughts are with you".


His tribute was much more imaginative and heart-warming.


He posted facts about rainbows...



Some facts are more science fiction based than others, but all of these facts are a wonderful way t pay tribute to those wonderful, lovely people who lost their lives in such a horrible, tragic way.

He finished off his tribute with this beautiful tweet:


Well done, Mr. Tyson. Well done, indeed.
