You can also catch much more of Dr. Tyson in his National Geographic series “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey,” learn more here:

Join the heroic quest for knowledge as we set course for the stars with the 21st century reboot of Cosmos. Hosted by world-renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, this 13-part ground-breaking series will venture to new worlds, trace our roots back to the hearts of ancient stars, and travel across the universe for a vision of the cosmos on the grandest scale.

Tomorrow we’ll be discussing lunar eclipses and what (if anything) we can expect from tomorrow’s event.
