Hey, StarTalkians, Neil here.

You're about to listen to an episode specially drawn from our archives

to serve your cosmic curiosities.

Check it out.

Welcome to StarTalk.

Your place in the universe where science and pop culture collide. StarTalk begins right now.

This is StarTalk. I'm Neil deGrasse Tyson, your personal astrophysicist.

And for this edition of StarTalk, it will be Cosmic Queries.

I think it's a grab bag edition, but I got to check with

my co-host, Chuck, nice, Chuck. Yes, what's up, Neil? And you are correct, sir. So the first

query has been answered. First query is, what are the queries about? So what happens is we solicit,

normally we solicit topics, but others sort of dribble in

and they sort of collect.

We're housekeeping, really, by getting, tending to the questions that are completely random,

coming from every direction, every compass direction of the universe.

Which is good, too, because people get very upset when their questions go, when their questions go unanswered, but they don't realize that when we're soliciting new questions, it's because it's a different topic, like you said. It's a different thing. Yeah, it's not like we can just continue. So, yeah, you're right. This is a great way to do some housekeeping and make some people happy.

So let's do this.

Let's do this.

All right.

All right.

Let's jump right into this, of course.

Give it to me.
