The solar eclipse arrived this afternoon, along with some new takes from respected astronomer, Bobby Ray Simmons Jr. He’s known as B.o.B in some circles, and a flat earth truther in others. His latest proclamation: The solar eclipse doesn’t disprove the flat earth theory because the moon generates its own light.

The last time B.o.B’s science views were in the news, they led to a back and forth with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. Tyson hasn’t weighed in on B.o.B’s latest claim… yet.
