Its CHILLY in the high bay this morning after our open-doors testing yesterday. Gondoliers are bundled up, but the reaction wheel is in!

Assuming Alaska is guaranteed to go red, five untallied states are at play, leading to 2⁵ = 32 possible electoral college outcomes. Trump wins in 4 of these cases, whereas Biden wins in 27 of them. The remaining case is a tie.

The tie is if Biden wins Georgia, but somehow loses everywhere else. So: highly unlikely.

Maybe obvious, but worth pointing out: if Biden maintains his current leads in both Arizona and Nevada, then he can’t lose (the electoral college). He’s guaranteed at least 270.

How cool would it be to visit alien worlds? 🤩 Thanks again #TVOKids for another awesome astronomy question! 🌌 @tvo #exoplanets – at Toronto, Ontario
Can we travel to planets outside our solar system? The team at #TVO Kids put that question to @DunlapInstitute Astronomer, @heidiwhite. Here's what she had to say! #UofT
