Welcome to Star Talk.

Your place in the universe where science and pop culture collide.

Star Talk begins right now.

This is Star Talk.

I'm Neil deGrasse Tyson, your personal astrophysicist.

And for this edition of Star Talk, 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.

So the first query has been answered.

The first query is what other queries are 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 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, right?

Well, yes, 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.
