As one of the most loved and informative guests on the JRE, famed astrologist Neil deGrasse Tyson has wowed us a number of times with his scientific information and for many, this is his finest appearance on the show. As always, he does a great job of simplifying the complicated, so those listening don't feel like complete idiots.
On the show to promote his then new book, Astrophysics for People In A Hurry, deGrasse Tyson shares plenty of amazing scientific tidbits that will shed light on questions you didn't even know you wanted answers for.
Although there are plenty of moments where the scientist's knowledge blew our mind, the one thing that really stood out is deGrasse Tyson's enthusiastic description of the birth of the telescope by the Dutch. He goes into significant detail about the rapid technological advances they made and how Italian Astronomer, Galileo Galilei, managed to perfect the telescope and put it on the path to where it is today.
