Lester Holt announced that Jupiter is now 415 miles from Earth on Thursday’s “NBC Nightly News” and Twitter users went into another stratosphere.

Aimee Sanders Gross tweeted, “Lester Holt just said Jupiter is now 415 miles away from Earth. Husband wonders if Southwest will have a $59 airfare?”

Oh, no! Lester’s brain has been fried by Jupiter’s X-rays.

[Ciaphas Cain]

The magnetic field alone would fry us at that close range. Jupiter puts out lots and lots of watts.

The DOJ Equal Opportunity Housing Division will make sure Mars would be able to move in.

[Billthedrill]

We’d already be dead. Jupiter is over 11 times bigger than Earth and would block out the sun.

Not if it was only there...at night...

No, no, Whitey’s on the Moon.

Lester Holt, the Science Dolt?

Works for me.

[bar sin·is·ter]

Jupiter be like 415 miles from earth bitches...

People i think look like aliens from a 50’s xci fi move:
Somalians, James Carville and Lester Holt.

Most people in the media are so dumb, they don’t know what they don’t know...an especially dangerous kind of stupid.

These lunatics have no feeling for scale or what may or may not be even possible - a planet closer to Holt’s desk in NY than the Golden Gate bridge...sounds legit to him.

Hey Lester, how far is Uranus from Jupiter?

[mass55th]

I think I’ll dig out my angel wings, and fly myself there tomorrow.

Lester is just missing his, “Zero.”

Is Barry still in Tahiti?

5.56mm

At 415 miles we would be well within Jupiter’s atmosphere ...

Is that at the edge of earth or the equator?

[twoputt]

I’ve counted over 30 posts and not one Uranus joke.

We’re slipping.

[Inyo-Mono]

I think you missed post #30.

[bgill]

Just what we need, more illegal aliens who refuse to assimilate.

[righttackle44]

Maybe we go to Guam and see it before the island turns over.

[kaehurowing]

I would be worried it could tip over and capsize.
