Neil deGrasse Tyson on Astronomy News with The Cosmic Companion March 16, 2021

Neil deGrasse Tyson visits the show, talking about science, alien intelligence, Carl Sagan, and more!

Hello everyone!

This week, we are delighted to welcome Neil deGrasse Tyson to the show. We talk about his new book, Cosmic Queries, as well as the nature of intelligence, Carl Sagan, and a whole lot more.

But first, we learn about one of the biggest problems in astrophysics, as a new study lends further evidence to questions about the expansion rate of the Universe. We also examine the oldest quasar jet ever seen radiating in X-rays. Then, we look at a nearby exoplanet that lost one inhospitable atmosphere, just to grow one even more noxious.
