2024/11/14 Neil deGrasse Tyson back at San Jose Center for Performing Arts: An Astrophysicist Goes To The Movies, the Sequel
π 2024-11-14 01:01 in Outings, Public
Back to see Neil deGrasse Tyson for a 3rd time, this time for part 2 of "An Astrophysicist Goes To The Movies". It ws a fun evening as any evening would him, would be, although I found this specific talk a little weaker than the first one, probably because he had to find other material that he hand't already used in the first talk, but that said there were still plenty of fun bits, and as I said, any time with him is a fun time :)



he still has a few books I should read :)

As a bonus, he gave he attendees a hall pass for the next day if they were late :)


And I had no idea he was on zoolander 2 :)


It was another very fun night, very quick video summary:
