Our universe is filled with secrets and mysteries, living us with many questions to be answered.

Now more than ever, we find ourselves searching for those answers as the very fabric of space,

science, and society are converging.

Here for the first time, these worlds collide, as we give you the knowledge that breaks

the barrier between what is science and what is merely pop culture.

This, this, this is Star Talk.

Now, here's your host, astrophysicist, Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, and comedian, Lynn

Coplitz, Star Talk.

Welcome back to Star Talk.

I am your host, Neil deGrasse Tyson, joining me, my co-host, Lynn Coplitz.

Lynn, you've been gone for two weeks.

I know, did you miss me?

Yes, I did, though.

I hope you were making people laugh wherever you were.

I was in Somburg, Illinois, and I did make people laugh.

I had a lot of fun there.

Thank you.

Excellent.

Well, welcome back to the show.

You're my co-host.

Don't go away again.

Thank you, Neil.
