Spend a thought-provoking evening with astrophysicist, professor,
and New York Times best-selling author Neil deGrasse Tyson of the
Hayden Planetarium. The author of his latest book Starry Messenger:
Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization. Tyson will discuss how a
“cosmic perspective” profoundly influences what we think and feel
about science, culture, politics, and life. Take a journey to the
far reaches of the universe in this cosmically fascinating
conversation.
“We know a lot about the universe. But there’s even more that
we don’t know,”
says astrophysicist and Professor Neil deGrasse Tyson,
director of the Hayden
Planetarium, an award-winning lecturer, and one of
the world’s foremost experts on the secrets of the universe. And
his course The Inexplicable Universe:
Unsolved Mysteries is the perfect gateway into
this mind-bending and eye-opening subject. This visually stunning
course, which has been honored with a 2013 Telly Award for Outstanding Educational
Program, will transport you on a marvelous journey
to the frontiers of the known (and unknown) universe and introduce
you to tantalizing questions being addressed by the world’s top
scientists. Undeniably engaging and fascinating, this presentation
is a wonderful entrée to scientific pursuits that lie at the very
heart of the history and nature of our universe.
A world-renowned science communicator, Neil deGrasse Tyson has
transported viewers to the nucleus of an atom and to the farthest
reaches of the universe. In addition to his work on television, he
is a New
York Times best-selling author whose books
include Death
by Black Hole &
Other Cosmic Quandaries, Welcome to the Universe,
and last year’s Astrophysics
for People in a Hurry.
Currently the head of NYC’s
Hayden Planetarium and a research associate in
the Department of Astrophysics
at the American Museum of Natural History, Tyson is
the recipient of 20 honorary doctorates as well as the NASA
Distinguished Public Service Medal, the highest award given by NASA
to a non-government citizen.
“Of all the amazing things about the Universe, I think two stand
above all the rest. One of them is that we know so much about the
universe, but another is that there’s even more that we don’t
know.” –Neil
deGrasse Tyson
