Neill deGrasse Tyson is a popular speaker on the mysteries of the universe, that astound the rest of us. Many of his thirteen books are written for the layperson, if that layperson wants to have his mind blown. He will be talking about his new book, “Astrophysics for People in a Hurry.”

Neill DeGrasse Tyson began lecturing about the cosmos at the age of fifteen. He met and was encouraged by noted astronomer Carl Sagan, of “Cosmos” fame. Dr. Tyson graduated from Harvard. He became director of the Hayden Planetarium in the 90s and a lecturer at Princeton University. President George W. Bush invited him to serve on the “Moon, Mars and Beyond” commission. Tyson is a regular on the talk show circuit, most notably as a regular commentator on “The Late Sow with Stephen Colbert.”

“The good thing about science is that it’s true whether or not you believe in it.” Neill deGrasse Tyson
