Neil deGrasse Tyson, STARRY MESSENGER (Part Two)

**This is part two of a double episode.** Neil deGrasse Tyson is a genius. Truly. An astrophysicist whose family pushed him to follow his dreams of being an athlete when really he wanted to study the universe, Dr. Tyson has become a cult celebrity, regularly stopped on the street to talk selfies with his adoring fans. You know how some people just get it?! You know they hold all the secrets as if carrying around a fragile tray across a room that the rest of us have to stand on tiptoes to see. Dr. Tyson literally knows the meaning of life and translates everything from race and disability to dogs and daytime in his show-stopping, must-read book.

That’s why Zibby spent two episodes with Dr. Tyson. This is the first/second of the series discussing his new book, Starry Messenger.
