Famed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, often outspoken for his liberal viewpoints, has continued to fuel speculation that he's veering right.
In a Thursday X post, Dr Tyson showed off an image of his wife's bullet-riddled target paper from their trip to a shooting range in Nevada.
On the surface, it would seem like a perfectly innocent post taking pride in his wife, Alice Young, after their day of target shooting.
That post comes less than two weeks after Tyson triggered a liberal meltdown on social media after posing with one of Trump's Make America Great Again hats.
Tyson, an astrophysicist, writer, and media personality, has never openly supported President Trump and has often opposed conservatives on issues like transgender rights and climate change awareness.
Despite that, some of Tyson's left-leaning fans on social media saw the seemingly pro-gun tweet as another sign the 66-year-old is shifting to the right.
Tyson is the director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, a position he has held since 1996.
He has authored numerous books, including The Pluto Files in 2009 and Astrophysics for People in a Hurry in 2017, which popularized complex scientific concepts.
Tyson has been a prominent science communicator, gaining widespread fame through media appearances and hosting various educational programs devoted to space. He current co-hosts the podcast StarTalk, blending science with pop culture.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Tyson is not a scientist, he is a shameless opportunist.
MAGA does not need him.
Carl Sagan, a genius and physicist one day saw Neil walking at school and almost fainted because their were no black kids in the physics dept. He took Neil under his wing and promoted him That’s the only reason we know his name. He could teach at a community college. He is not going Maga
I’ve never seen him as anything other than left of center. When he stick to pure science, he’s enjoyable to listen to. Outside of that he’s what you expect of the University system.
Neil deG. going MAGA? Jury’s still out on that. More likely, same bitter wine, but with a ‘new’ label now scotch-taped on one side of the bottle.
Leftists in my area are buying g guns and going to the range. Prepping to kill you.
He doesn’t look well.
Perhaps he discovered, as I did when living in Houston, that gun ranges are some of the most integrated places in America.
The guy is a LBGT shill. We don’t need that. We’re done with that sh*t.
He’s not America’s most famous scientist.
Leftists love guns, too.
At all.
Maybe he found intelligent life in space?
Who cares why he’s doing this as long as the lefty intelligentsia crowd is losing their minds over it. It just shows that lefties don’t care for nor want a diversity of thought. Power and control over everything and everyone is all they truly care about!
Could be a bad photo, or the Sunday morning after a bender weekend in Vegas. Or early stage Ozempic face.
That’s true. Leftists are the real fascists and nazis.
I don’t think E.T wants anything to do with Neal.
Here lately (after the last Election), yes many do. Individual motivations may vary.
Only so they can try to bully the rest of us into submission, like the nazis they are.
