I first met Neil deGrasse Tyson at a bug eating event at the Museum of Natural History when he was munching on a fried tarantula.\\xa0You may remember Tyson as the host of\\xa0Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey. That was the continuation of a television series that originally starred Carl Sagan, another well-known astrophysicist. Tyson is also the Director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York and he\\u2019s written more than 17 books. The latest is called\\xa0A Brief Welcome to the Universe.\\xa0But when you\\u2019re talking to Neil deGrasse Tyson, as you\\u2019ll discover, nothing is brief. \\u201cNow What?\\u201d is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Annika Hoiem and Alex Wolfe. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.
