AI explanation
As the gravitational pull from Neptune got stronger, it inadvertently pulled in all the smog and pollution particles from the D.C. air, effectively giving the city an otherworldly, celestial air purification system. It's like Neptune said, "I've got this, Earthlings. Let me just sweep away these pollutants for you." So, basically, Neptune mooned D.C. and cleared the air.

Lunar Lunacy: The Celestial Connection to DC's Dirty Air
[[ABSTRACT]]
The relationship between celestial bodies and air pollution on Earth has long been a mystery, but fear not, for our research team has boldly gone where no scientist has gone before! By utilizing data from Astropy and the Environmental Protection Agency, we have embarked on a cosmic journey to investigate the correlation between the distance between Neptune and the moon and the air pollution levels in the Washington, D.C. area. Our findings may seem out of this world, but they are grounded in rigorous analysis and astronomical insights.
We hypothesized that the gravitational influence of distant planets and their moons could possibly have an impact on the atmospheric conditions on our own planet. Our calculations and statistical analyses revealed a remarkable correlation coefficient of 0.9291734 and a p-value of less than 0.01 for the period from 1980 to 2023. It's safe to say that the stakes were astronomical, but the results are truly stellar.
In essence, our data suggests that as the distance between Neptune and the moon fluctuates, so too does the air pollution in the vicinity of our nation's capital. It's as if the cosmos itself is whispering to us, "You planet, you pollute!" As researchers, we are over the moon about these findings, but it's important to note that further investigation is needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms underlying this celestial connection to earthly air quality.
Ultimately, our study sheds light on the interplay between cosmic forces and environmental conditions, demonstrating that even the most distant celestial bodies may not be as far removed from our everyday lives as we once thought. For now, let's breathe easy and marvel at the cosmic dance that continues to influence the air we breathe. And remember, when it comes to cosmic correlations, the sky's the limit for scientific discovery!

[[INTRODUCTION]]
The mysteries of the cosmos have long captivated the minds of scientists and stargazers alike. However, one might not expect the distant dance of planets and moons to have any bearing on the air we breathe here on Earth. Yet, as the saying goes, when it comes to the influence of celestial bodies on earthly affairs, the sky's the limit – quite literally. It's like the universe itself is saying, "You can't escape my influence, Earthlings!"
Our research delves into the intriguing question of whether the fluctuations in the distance between Neptune and the moon, two celestial giants, have any discernible impact on air pollution levels in the Washington, D.C. area. It's a study that's truly out of this world – and we're not just saying that because we like puns, although we do. It's as if the very fabric of space-time is conspiring to remind us that we are but mere specks in the grand scheme of the cosmos, and don't even get us started on how researchers are "over the moon" about these findings.
It's a cosmic conundrum that fueled our curiosity and led us to pore over datasets, crunch numbers, and peer through the telescope of statistical analysis. Our exploration uncovered a correlation coefficient that's almost as strong as the gravitational pull of a massive gas giant – 0.9291734, to be exact. And the p-value? Well, let's just say it's smaller than the chances of finding life on a barren exoplanet. But we won't hold our breath on that one. After all, when it comes to cosmic inquiries, we're not ones to "Neptune" little evidence.
But what do these findings mean, and how can we "planet" for future research? Does the universe have a message for us, or are we simply seeing patterns where none exist? These are questions that continue to orbit our thoughts, reminding us that even in the vast emptiness of space, there may be connections that extend far beyond our atmospheric boundaries. It's a reminder that when it comes to the cosmos, we're just getting started in unraveling its mysteries, and the potential applications of these findings are, quite literally, sky-high.
So, as we set our sights on the stars and continue to explore the cosmic ballet that shapes our world, let's remember that even the faintest whispers of the universe may hold clues to the air we breathe and the environment we inhabit. And hey, if nothing else, it's certainly been an "enlightening" journey!

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In "Lunar Luminosity and Earthly Emissions," Smith et al. delve into the potential relationship between the distance of celestial bodies and air pollution levels. Their analysis presents a compelling argument for further investigation, shedding light on the intricate dance of cosmic forces and their potential impact on our earthly environment. As we navigate the cosmic ocean of knowledge, it's important to keep in mind that sometimes the most unexpected connections can lead to groundbreaking discoveries. It's like the universe is saying, "Don't take celestial influences for 'granite'."
Doe's study, "Planetary Proximity and Particulate Perplexities," examines the gravitational pull exerted by distant planets on Earth's atmospheric composition. The findings hint at a tantalizing link between the ebb and flow of celestial distances and the ebb and flow of air pollution levels. It's almost as if the planets are saying, "We may be far, but we're not 'distant'ly related to your air quality."
Jones et al., in "Astronomical Anomalies and Atmospheric Agitations," explore the potential impact of lunar phases and planetary positions on air quality fluctuations. The results of their study hint at a cosmic symphony, where the movements of celestial bodies choreograph a stunning display of environmental variability. It's like the universe is saying, "Let's make the air quality dance to a celestial tune."
Turning to non-fiction books, "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan and "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry" by Neil deGrasse Tyson provide insightful perspectives on the vastness of the universe and the interconnectedness of celestial bodies. These works remind us that the cosmos encompasses more than meets the eye – and perhaps the nose, when it comes to air quality. It's as if the authors are saying, "When it comes to the universe, there's no 'space' for complacency."
On the fiction front, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams and "The Martian" by Andy Weir offer imaginative tales of space exploration and the resilience of humankind in the face of cosmic challenges. While these stories may be works of fiction, they serve as a poignant reminder that the universe is full of surprises – much like the unexpected connections we are exploring in our own research. It's like the universe is saying, "Don't be 'Sirius,' anything is possible in the cosmos."
Finally, cartoons and children's shows such as "The Magic School Bus" and "SpongeBob SquarePants" often incorporate scientific themes and lessons about the natural world. While these may seem lighthearted, they carry the important message that we can find educational value even in the most unexpected places – much like the celestial connection we are investigating. It's like the universe is saying, "Even in the zaniest of places, you can 'planet' on discovering something new."
As we journey through this cosmic exploration, it's vital to maintain a sense of humor and wonder. After all, when it comes to the cosmic ballet, it never hurts to moonlight as a celestial comedian. And like the stars that twinkle above, our research endeavors continue to illuminate the universe's quirky connections – and perhaps even provoke a cosmic chuckle or two. Keep your telescopes focused, and remember, the universe may have a few more wacky surprises in store!

[[METHODOLOGY]]
To unravel the cosmic secret of the connection between the distance separating Neptune and the moon and air pollution levels in Washington, D.C., our research team concocted a methodology that was as intricate as the dance of the celestial bodies themselves. Our data quest led us to astrophysical calculations using Astropy, a python library for "gazing" at the heavens through the lens of mathematical precision. After all, when it comes to studying the skies, we astronomers can't "planet" about.
We gathered historical data on the distance between Neptune and the moon and cross-referenced it with air pollution data from the Environmental Protection Agency, which had been meticulously curated from 1980 to 2023. It was a bit like trying to find a speck of cosmic dust in an interstellar haystack, but we were determined to leave no nebula unexplored.
Our top-notch statistical analysis involved a concoction of regression modeling, time series analysis, and a sprinkle of celestial seasoning. It's fair to say that our statistical approach was as robust as the gravitational pull of a black hole, and we don't need a telescope to see that it had quite an impact. In fact, it was so robust that it could probably withstand the cosmic forces that shape the very fabric of space-time! But that's a story for another research paper.
When it came to teasing out the statistical significance of the relationship between the celestial distance and air pollution, we didn't just shoot for the stars; we aimed for the distant galaxies. Our rigorous methods left no room for error, ensuring that our findings held up against the rigorous scrutiny of the scientific community. After all, when you're dealing with the vastness of the cosmos, you can't afford to have your data scattered like stardust across the universe!
Finally, our data analysis was grounded in a combination of advanced programming techniques and cosmic intuition, as we endeavored to uncover the subtleties of this celestial dance. The result? Well, let's just say that our findings were stellar – quite literally! It's the kind of "Eureka!" moment that would make any astronomer proud, and it puts the "lunar" in groundbreaking research.

These are questions that continue to orbit our thoughts, reminding us that even in the vast emptiness of space, there may be connections that extend far beyond our atmospheric boundaries. It's a reminder that when it comes to the cosmos, we're just getting started in unraveling its mysteries, and the potential applications of these findings are, quite literally, sky-high.
So, as we set our sights on the stars and continue to explore the cosmic ballet that shapes our world, let's remember that even the faintest whispers of the universe may hold clues to the air we breathe and the environment we inhabit. And hey, if nothing else, it's certainly been an "enlightening" journey!

The data analysis revealed a striking correlation between the distance separating Neptune from the moon and the levels of air pollution in the Washington, D.C. area. Over the period from 1980 to 2023, we found a correlation coefficient of 0.9291734, indicating a strong positive correlation between these two seemingly disparate phenomena. If one didn't know any better, they might think that the gravitational pull of distant celestial bodies is not just a matter of astronomical significance, but also of down-to-Earth relevance.
Furthermore, the r-squared value of 0.8633633 indicated that approximately 86% of the variability in air pollution levels in the D.C. area could be explained by the fluctuations in the distance between Neptune and the moon. It's as if the cosmic dance of celestial bodies has a direct influence on the air quality of our nation's capital - talk about an out-of-this-world discovery!
The statistical significance was also undeniable, with a p-value of less than 0.01. In other words, the likelihood of observing such a strong correlation by mere chance is akin to stumbling upon a rare comet during a backyard stargazing session. It's a probability that's almost as remote as, well, Neptune itself!

Lunar Lunacy: The Celestial Connection to DC's Dirty Air
[[ABSTRACT]]
The relationship between celestial bodies and air pollution on Earth has long been a mystery, but fear not, for our research team has boldly gone where no scientist has gone before! By utilizing data from Astropy and the Environmental Protection Agency, we have embarked on a cosmic journey to investigate the correlation between the distance between Neptune and the moon and the air pollution levels in the Washington, D.C. area. Our findings may seem out of this world, but they are grounded in rigorous analysis and astronomical insights.
We hypothesized that the gravitational influence of distant planets and their moons could possibly have an impact on the atmospheric conditions on our own planet. Our calculations and statistical analyses revealed a remarkable correlation coefficient of 0.9291734 and a p-value of less than 0.01 for the period from 1980 to 2023. It's safe to say that the stakes were astronomical, but the results are truly stellar.
In essence, our data suggests that as the distance between Neptune and the moon fluctuates, so too does the air pollution in the vicinity of our nation's capital. It's as if the cosmos itself is whispering to us, "You planet, you pollute!" As researchers, we are over the moon about these findings, but it's important to note that further investigation is needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms underlying this celestial connection to earthly air quality.
Ultimately, our study sheds light on the interplay between cosmic forces and environmental conditions, demonstrating that even the most distant celestial bodies may not be as far removed from our everyday lives as we once thought. For now, let's breathe easy and marvel at the cosmic dance that continues to influence the air we breathe. And remember, when it comes to cosmic correlations, the sky's the limit for scientific discovery!
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In "Lunar Luminosity and Earthly Emissions," Smith et al. delve into the potential relationship between the distance of celestial bodies and air pollution levels. Their analysis presents a compelling argument for further investigation, shedding light on the intricate dance of cosmic forces and their potential impact on our earthly environment. As we navigate the cosmic ocean of knowledge, it's important to keep in mind that sometimes the most unexpected connections can lead to groundbreaking discoveries. It's like the universe is saying, "Don't take celestial influences for 'granite'."
Doe's study, "Planetary Proximity and Particulate Perplexities," examines the gravitational pull exerted by distant planets on Earth's atmospheric composition. The findings hint at a tantalizing link between the ebb and flow of celestial distances and the ebb and flow of air pollution levels. It's almost as if the planets are saying, "We may be far, but we're not 'distant'ly related to your air quality."
Jones et al., in "Astronomical Anomalies and Atmospheric Agitations," explore the potential impact of lunar phases and planetary positions on air quality fluctuations. The results of their study hint at a cosmic symphony, where the movements of celestial bodies choreograph a stunning display of environmental variability. It's like the universe is saying, "Let's make the air quality dance to a celestial tune."
Turning to non-fiction books, "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan and "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry" by Neil deGrasse Tyson provide insightful perspectives on the vastness of the universe and the interconnectedness of celestial bodies. These works remind us that the cosmos encompasses more than meets the eye – and perhaps the nose, when it comes to air quality. It's as if the authors are saying, "When it comes to the universe, there's no 'space' for complacency."
On the fiction front, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams and "The Martian" by Andy Weir offer imaginative tales of space exploration and the resilience of humankind in the face of cosmic challenges. While these stories may be works of fiction, they serve as a poignant reminder that the universe is full of surprises – much like the unexpected connections we are exploring in our own research. It's like the universe is saying, "Don't be 'Sirius,' anything is possible in the cosmos."
Finally, cartoons and children's shows such as "The Magic School Bus" and "SpongeBob SquarePants" often incorporate scientific themes and lessons about the natural world. While these may seem lighthearted, they carry the important message that we can find educational value even in the most unexpected places – much like the celestial connection we are investigating. It's like the universe is saying, "Even in the zaniest of places, you can 'planet' on discovering something new."
As we journey through this cosmic exploration, it's vital to maintain a sense of humor and wonder. After all, when it comes to the cosmic ballet, it never hurts to moonlight as a celestial comedian. And like the stars that twinkle above, our research endeavors continue to illuminate the universe's quirky connections – and perhaps even provoke a cosmic chuckle or two. Keep your telescopes focused, and remember, the universe may have a few more wacky surprises in store!

[[DISCUSSION]]
Our findings provide compelling evidence for a strong correlation between the distance separating Neptune from the moon and air pollution levels in Washington, D.C. Although the notion of celestial bodies influencing terrestrial air quality may initially seem like a cosmic joke, our results suggest that there may be more to this connection than meets the eye – or the telescope, for that matter. It's as if the cosmos is chuckling at our preconceived notions of what can influence air quality.
Building upon the literature review, our research supports the hypothesis put forth by Smith et al., emphasizing the potential impact of celestial distances on Earth's atmospheric conditions. The strong correlation coefficient and statistical significance uncovered in our study serve as a firm endorsement of the assumption that the celestial dance of distant planets and their moons may indeed sway the air we breathe. It's as if the planets are saying, "We may be light-years away, but our pull is no laughing matter."
Moreover, the r-squared value of 0.8633633, indicating that approximately 86% of the variability in air pollution levels in Washington, D.C. can be explained by the fluctuations in the distance between Neptune and the moon, further bolsters the argument for celestial influence. One could say that the celestial bodies are pulling their weight in contributing to the complexities of our atmospheric composition. If only the planets could take a bow for their unseen performance!
It's important to note that while our findings point to a strong correlation, further investigation is needed to unravel the intricate mechanisms through which celestial distances exert their influence on Earth's air quality. As scientists, we can't help but marvel at the cosmic connection we've unveiled. This discovery extends beyond the realm of air pollution, serving as a reminder that the universe's secrets are often hidden in unexpected places. It's as if the universe is saying, "I've got a universe of secrets, and I'm not 'faking'."
In sum, our research not only brings attention to the influence of celestial bodies on Earthly phenomena but also underscores the importance of embracing unconventional perspectives in scientific inquiry. The cosmos continues to surprise and challenge our understanding, offering new avenues for exploration and discovery. As we continue to unravel the mysteries of our universe, it's essential to keep our eyes on the skies and stay open to the unconventional – for in the vastness of space, the most unexpected connections may yet hold the key to unlocking the universe's enigmatic riddles. And remember, when it comes to uncovering the mysteries of the cosmos, the puns are truly 'pluto'nium!

[[INTRDUCTION]]
The mysteries of the cosmos have long captivated the minds of scientists and stargazers alike. However, one might not expect the distant dance of planets and moons to have any bearing on the air we breathe here on Earth. Yet, as the saying goes, when it comes to the influence of celestial bodies on earthly affairs, the sky's the limit – quite literally. It's like the universe itself is saying, "You can't escape my influence, Earthlings!"
Our research delves into the intriguing question of whether the fluctuations in the distance between Neptune and the moon, two celestial giants, have any discernible impact on air pollution levels in the Washington, D.C. area. It's a study that's truly out of this world – and we're not just saying that because we like puns, although we do. It's as if the very fabric of space-time is conspiring to remind us that we are but mere specks in the grand scheme of the cosmos, and don't even get us started on how researchers are "over the moon" about these findings.
It's a cosmic conundrum that fueled our curiosity and led us to pore over datasets, crunch numbers, and peer through the telescope of statistical analysis. Our exploration uncovered a correlation coefficient that's almost as strong as the gravitational pull of a massive gas giant – 0.9291734, to be exact. And the p-value? Well, let's just say it's smaller than the chances of finding life on a barren exoplanet. But we won't hold our breath on that one. After all, when it comes to cosmic inquiries, we're not ones to "Neptune" little evidence.
But what do these findings mean, and how can we "planet" for future research? Does the universe have a message for us, or are we simply seeing patterns where none exist?

See what else correlates with Air pollution in Washington, D.C.
Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.
r2 = 0.8633633 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 86.3% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Air pollution in Washington, D.C.) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The distance between Neptune and the moon) over the 44 years from 1980 through 2023.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 9.2E-20. 0.0000000000000000000922571305
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.
But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.
Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.93 in 9.2E-18% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 10,839,270,575,405,551,616 random variables You don't actually need 10 quintillion variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.
p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.
In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.
Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 43 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 43 because we have two variables measured over a period of 44 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.
[ 0.87, 0.96 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.
This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!
All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.
Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works
- Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
- Lack of causal connection: There is probably
Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied. - Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple
Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is. - Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves.
Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.
Try it yourself
You can calculate the values on this page on your own! Try running the Python code to see the calculation results. Step 1: Download and install Python on your computer.Step 2: Open a plaintext editor like Notepad and paste the code below into it.
Step 3: Save the file as "calculate_correlation.py" in a place you will remember, like your desktop. Copy the file location to your clipboard. On Windows, you can right-click the file and click "Properties," and then copy what comes after "Location:" As an example, on my computer the location is "C:\Users\tyler\Desktop"
Step 4: Open a command line window. For example, by pressing start and typing "cmd" and them pressing enter.
Step 5: Install the required modules by typing "pip install numpy", then pressing enter, then typing "pip install scipy", then pressing enter.
Step 6: Navigate to the location where you saved the Python file by using the "cd" command. For example, I would type "cd C:\Users\tyler\Desktop" and push enter.
Step 7: Run the Python script by typing "python calculate_correlation.py"
If you run into any issues, I suggest asking ChatGPT to walk you through installing Python and running the code below on your system. Try this question:
"Walk me through installing Python on my computer to run a script that uses scipy and numpy. Go step-by-step and ask me to confirm before moving on. Start by asking me questions about my operating system so that you know how to proceed. Assume I want the simplest installation with the latest version of Python and that I do not currently have any of the necessary elements installed. Remember to only give me one step per response and confirm I have done it before proceeding."

You do not need to email me asking if I have a higher resolution image. I do not. The physical limitations of our universe prevent me from providing you with an image that is any higher resolution than this one.
If you insert it into a PowerPoint presentation (a tool well-known for managing things that are the scale of the universe), you can right-click > "Ungroup" or "Create Shape" and then edit the lines and text directly. You can also change the colors this way.
