In this conversation, Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-host Chuck Nice discuss Neil’s lifelong passion for astronomy and the telescopes that shaped his journey into astrophysics. Neil shares emotional and humorous stories about his first experiences observing the Moon through binoculars, receiving his first telescope as a child, building his astronomy skills through amateur observation, traveling to Africa to witness a solar eclipse, and even having police called on him while stargazing from a rooftop as a teenager.
