Many questions keep us lying awake at night: the future of our planet, the origin of life, and whether aliens▼ exist. Some people become afraid when thinking about problems of this size. However, have no fear because this month on the National Geographic Channel (NGC), science personality Neil deGrasse Tyson will explain the mysteries of the universe in the second season of StarTalk. Since 2009, Tyson has had a podcast called StarTalk where, with the help of famous co-hosts, he mixes topics about space and science with pop culture. Aliens, the environment, space travel, the Big Bang, the earth's future, and science-related news are all talked about. In April 2015, NGC turned StarTalk into a late-night talk show. The show follows the form of the podcast by mixing science and comedy to make science more fun and easier to understand. Tyson once said that his goal was to bring the universe down to Earth in a way that further excited the audience to want more. With the help of famous guests such as former president Bill Clinton and David Byrne, the newest season of StarTalk continues to do just that. Catch all the fun this month on NGC.
