This Just In: Latest Discoveries In The Universe

Popularizing astrophysics through his writing, TV appearances, and lectures, Neil deGrasse Tyson is known for his out-of-this-world ideas. Tyson leads the world-renowned Hayden Planetarium of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City where he is the first occupant of its Frederick P. Rose Directorship. He is also a research associate of the museum's Department of Astrophysics. He is known for making complex scientific discoveries easy to learn, writing about it in regular columns, narrating TV programs, and now using his podcast, StarTalk, to speak with other experts and share the knowledge with listeners. Growing up in New York City, Tyson then studied at Harvard University, the University of Texas at Austin, and Columbia University. From 1991 to 1994, he was a research associate at Princeton University. He joined the Hayden Planetarium in 1994 as a staff scientist before becoming director in 1996 and oversaw a $210 million reconstruction project. His focus is mainly on cosmology, stellar evolution, galactic astronomy, dwarf galaxies, and stellar formation. He is considered one of the most respected scientists of the early 21st century. Tyson's latest books include "Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization," containing his life's wisdom on the intersection of science literacy and culture and "To Infinity and Beyond: A Journey of Cosmic Discovery," coauthored with Lindsey Nyx Walker. Both are New York Times bestsellers. In 2024, Tyson published Merlin's Tour of the Universe, a 21st century update of his very first book, a playful Q&A on the universe conducted by Merlin, a visitor from Andromeda whose task is to help Earthlings understand how the universe works. The book is illustrated by his artist brother, Stephen J. Tyson.
