American astrophysicist (born )
Neil deGrasse Tyson (də-GRASS or də-GRAHSS; born October 5, ) is an American astrophysicist, author, and science communicator. Tyson studied at Harvard University, the University of Texas at Austin, and Columbia University. From to , he was a postdoctoral research associate at Princeton University.
In , he joined the Hayden Planetarium as a staff scientist and the Princeton faculty as a visiting research scientist and lecturer. In , he became director of the planetarium and oversaw its $ million reconstruction project, which was completed in Since , he has been the director of the Hayden Planetarium at the Rose Center for Earth and Space in New York City.
The center is part of the American Museum of Natural History, where Tyson founded the Department of Astrophysics in and has been a research associate in the department since
From to , Tyson wrote monthly essays in the "Universe" column for Natural History magazine, some of which were later published in his books Death by Black Hole () and Astrophysics for People in a Hurry ().
During the same period, he wrote a monthly column in StarDate magazine, answering questions about the universe under the pen name "Merlin". Material from the column appeared in his books Merlin's Tour of the Universe () and Just Visiting This Planet (). Tyson served on a government commission on the future of the U.S.
aerospace industry and on the Moon, Mars and Beyond commission. He was awarded the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal in the same year. From to , he hosted the television show NOVA ScienceNow on PBS. Since , Tyson has hosted the weekly podcast StarTalk. A spin-off, also called StarTalk, began airing on National Geographic in In , he hosted the television series Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, a successor to Carl Sagan's series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage.[2] The U.S.
National Academy of Sciences awarded Tyson the Public Welfare Medal in for his "extraordinary role in exciting the public about the wonders of science".[3]
Early life and education
Tyson was born in Manhattan as the second of three children, into a Catholic family living in the Bronx.[4][5] His African-American father, Cyril deGrasse Tyson (–), was a sociologist and human resource commissioner for New York City mayor John Lindsay, and the first director of Harlem Youth Opportunities Unlimited.[6][7] His mother, Sunchita Maria Tyson (née Feliciano; –), was a gerontologist for the U.S.
Department of Health, Education and Welfare and is of Puerto Rican descent.[8] Neil has two siblings: Stephen Joseph Tyson and Lynn Antipas Tyson.[6] Neil's middle name, deGrasse, is from the maiden name of his paternal grandmother, who was born as Altima de Grasse in the British West Indies island of Nevis.[9]
Tyson grew up in the Castle Hill neighborhood of the Bronx and then in Riverdale.[10] From kindergarten throughout high school, Tyson attended public schools in the Bronx: PS 36 Unionport, PS 81 Robert J.
Christen, the Riverdale Kingsbridge Academy (MS ), and graduated from The Bronx High School of Science in where he was captain of the wrestling team and editor-in-chief of the Physical Science Journal.[11] His interest in astronomy began at the age of nine after visiting the sky theater of the Hayden Planetarium.
He recalled that "so strong was that imprint [of the night sky] that I'm certain that I had no choice in the matter, that in fact, the universe called me."[14] During high school, Tyson attended astronomy courses offered by the Hayden Planetarium, which he called "the most formative period" of his life.
He credited Mark Chartrand III, director of the planetarium at the time, as his "first intellectual role model" and his enthusiastic teaching style mixed with humor inspired Tyson to communicate the universe to others the way he did.
When he was 14, he received a scholarship from the Explorers Club of New York to view the June total solar eclipse aboard the SS Canberra.
The scientific cruise carried two thousand scientists, engineers, and enthusiasts, including Neil Armstrong, Scott Carpenter, and Isaac Asimov.[16]
Tyson obsessively studied astronomy in his teen years; he eventually even gained some fame in the astronomy community by giving lectures on the subject at the age of [17] Astronomer Carl Sagan, who was a faculty member at Cornell University, tried to recruit Tyson to Cornell for undergraduate studies.[7] In his book, The Sky Is Not the Limit, Tyson wrote:
My letter of application had been dripping with an interest in the universe.
The admission office, unbeknownst to me, had forwarded my application to Carl Sagan's attention. Within weeks, I received a personal letter[18]
Tyson revisited this moment on his first episode of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey. Pulling out a calendar belonging to the famous astronomer, he found the day Sagan invited the year-old to spend a day in Ithaca.
Sagan had offered to put him up for the night if his bus back to the Bronx did not come. Tyson said, "I already knew I wanted to become a scientist. But that afternoon, I learned from Carl the kind of person I wanted to become."[19][20]
Tyson chose to attend Harvard where he majored in physics and lived in Currier House.
He was a member of the rowing team during his freshman year, but returned to wrestling, lettering (achieving varsity team rank) in his senior year. He was also active in dance (styles including jazz, ballet, Afro-Caribbean, and Latin Ballroom).[21]
Tyson earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in physics at Harvard College in and then began his graduate work at the University of Texas at Austin,[22] from which he received a Master of Arts degree in astronomy in By his own account, he did not spend as much time in the research lab as he should have.
His professors encouraged him to consider alternative careers and the committee for his doctoral dissertation was dissolved, ending his pursuit of a doctorate from the University of Texas.[23]
Tyson was a lecturer in astronomy at the University of Maryland from to [24] and in , he was accepted into the astronomy graduate program at Columbia University, where he earned a Master of Philosophy degree in astrophysics in , and a PhD degree in astrophysics in [25] under the supervision of Professor R.
Michael Rich. Rich obtained funding to support Tyson's doctoral research from NASA and the ARCS Foundation,[26] enabling Tyson to attend international meetings in Italy, Switzerland, Chile, and South Africa[24] and to hire students to help him with data reduction.[27] In the course of his thesis work, he observed using the m telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, where he obtained images for the Calán/Tololo Supernova Survey[28][29][30] helping to further their work in establishing Type Ia supernovae as standard candles.
During his thesis research at Columbia University, Tyson became acquainted with Professor David Spergel at Princeton University, who visited Columbia University in the course of collaborating with his thesis advisor on the Galactic bulge[31][32][33] typically found in spiral galaxies.
Career
Tyson's research has focused on observations in cosmology, stellar evolution, galactic astronomy, bulges, and stellar formation. He has held numerous positions at institutions including the University of Maryland, Princeton University, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Hayden Planetarium.
In , Tyson joined the Hayden Planetarium as a staff scientist while he was a research affiliate in Princeton University. He became acting director of the planetarium in June and was appointed director in [34] As director, he oversaw the planetarium's $ million reconstruction project, which was completed in Upon being asked for his thoughts on becoming director, Tyson said "when I was a kid there were scientists and educators on the staff at the Hayden Planetarium who invested their time and energy in my enlightenment and I've never forgotten that to end up back there as its director, I feel this deep sense of duty, that I serve in the same capacity for people who come through the facility today, that others served for me".[35]
Tyson has written a number of popular books on astrophysics.
In , he began to write the "Universe" column for Natural History magazine. In a column Tyson wrote for a special edition of the magazine, called "City of Stars", in , he popularized the term "Manhattanhenge" to describe the two days annually on which the evening sun aligns with the street grid in Manhattan, making the sunset visible along unobstructed side streets.
He had coined the term in , inspired by how the phenomenon recalls the sun's solstice alignment with the Stonehenge monument in England.[36] Tyson's column also influenced his work as a professor with The Great Courses.[37]
In , U.S. President George W. Bush appointed Tyson to serve on the Commission on the Future of the United States Aerospace Industry and in to serve on the President's Commission on Implementation of United States Space Exploration Policy, the latter better known as the "Moon, Mars, and Beyond" commission.

We are, each of us, a little universe. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.Soon afterward, he was awarded the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal, the highest civilian honor bestowed by NASA.[38]
In , Tyson hosted the four-part Origins miniseries of the PBS Nova series[39] and with Donald Goldsmith, co-authored the companion volume for this series, Origins: Fourteen Billion Years Of Cosmic Evolution.[40] He again collaborated with Goldsmith as the narrator on the documentary Years of the Telescope, which premiered on PBS in April [41]
As director of the Hayden Planetarium, Tyson bucked traditional thinking in order to keep Pluto from being referred to as the ninth planet in exhibits at the center.
He has explained that he wanted to look at commonalities between objects, grouping the terrestrial planets together, the gas giants together, and Pluto with like objects, and to get away from simply counting the planets. He has stated on The Colbert Report, The Daily Show, and BBC Horizon that the decision has resulted in large amounts of hate mail, much of it from children.[42] In , the International Astronomical Union (IAU) confirmed this assessment by changing Pluto to the dwarf planet classification.
Tyson recounted the heated online debate on the Cambridge Conference Network (CCNet), a "widely read, UK-based Internet chat group", following Benny Peiser's renewed call for reclassification of Pluto's status.[43] Peiser's entry, in which he posted articles from the AP and The Boston Globe, spawned from The New York Times's article entitled "Pluto's Not a Planet?
Only in New York".[44][45]
Tyson has been vice-president, president, and chairman of the board of the Planetary Society. He was also the host of the PBS program Nova ScienceNow until [46] He attended and was a speaker at the Beyond Belief: Science, Religion, Reason and Survival symposium in November [47]
In May , Tyson launched a one-hour radio talk show called StarTalk, which he co-hosted with comedian Lynne Koplitz.
The show was syndicated on Sunday afternoons on KTLK AM in Los Angeles and WHFS in Washington DC. The show lasted for thirteen weeks, but was resurrected in December and then, co-hosted with comedians Chuck Nice and Leighann Lord instead of Koplitz. Guests range from colleagues in science to celebrities such as GZA, Wil Wheaton, Sarah Silverman, and Bill Maher.
The show is available via the Internet through a live stream or in the form of a podcast.[48]
In April , Tyson was the keynote speaker at the 93rd International Convention of the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society of the Two-year School. He and James Randi delivered a lecture entitled Skepticism, which related directly with the convention's theme of The Democratization of Information: Power, Peril, and Promise.[49]
In , Tyson announced that he would appear in a YouTube series based on his radio show StarTalk.
A premiere date for the show has not been announced, but it will be distributed on the Nerdist YouTube Channel.[50] On February 28, , Tyson was a celebrity guest at the White House Student Film Festival.[51]
In , Tyson helped revive Carl Sagan's Cosmos: A Personal Voyage television series, presenting Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey on both FOX and the National Geographic Channel.
Thirteen episodes were aired in the first season, and Tyson has said that if a second season were produced, he would pass the role of host to someone else in the science world.[52][53] On March 9, , he returned with a follow-up season of Cosmos titled Cosmos: Possible Worlds.[54][55]
On April 20, , Tyson began hosting a late-night talk show entitled StarTalk on the National Geographic Channel, where he interviews pop culture celebrities and asks them about their life experiences with science.[56] Around , he was co-developing a sandbox video game with Whatnot Entertainment, Neil deGrasse Tyson Presents: Space Odyssey, which aimed to help provide players with a realistic simulation of developing a space-faring culture, incorporating educational materials about space and technology.
The development was abandoned after April [57]
Views
Spirituality and philosophy
[A] most important feature is the analysis of the information that comes your way. And that's what I don't see enough of in this world. There's a level of gullibility that leaves people susceptible to being taken advantage of.
I see science literacy as kind of a vaccine against charlatans who would try to exploit your ignorance.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson, from a transcript of an interview by Roger Bingham on The Science Network[58][59]
Tyson has written and broadcast extensively about his views of science, spirituality, and the spirituality of science, including the essays "The Perimeter of Ignorance"[60] and "Holy Wars",[61] both appearing in Natural History magazine and the Beyond Belief workshop.
In an interview with comedian Paul Mecurio, Tyson offered his definition of spirituality, "For me, when I say spiritual, I'm referring to a feeling you would have that connects you to the universe in a way that it may defy simple vocabulary. We think about the universe as an intellectual playground, which it surely is, but the moment you learn something that touches an emotion rather than just something intellectual, I would call that a spiritual encounter with the universe."[62] He has argued that many great historical scientists' belief in intelligent design limited their scientific inquiries, to the detriment of the advance of scientific knowledge.[61][63]
When asked during a question session at the University at Buffalo if he believed in a higher power, Tyson responded: "Every account of a higher power that I've seen described, of all religions that I've seen, include many statements with regard to the benevolence of that power.
When I look at the universe and all the ways the universe wants to kill us, I find it hard to reconcile that with statements of beneficence."[64][65]: In an interview with Big Think, he said: "So, what people are really after is what is my stance on religion or spirituality or God, and I would say if I find a word that came closest, it would be 'agnostic' at the end of the day I'd rather not be any category at all."[66] Additionally, in the same interview with Big Think, Tyson mentioned that he edited Wikipedia's entry on him to include the fact that he is an agnostic:
I'm constantly claimed by atheists.
I find this intriguing. In fact, on my Wiki page –I didn't create the Wiki page. Others did, and I'm flattered that people cared enough about my life to assemble it–and it said, "Neil deGrasse Tyson is an atheist." I said, "Well, that's not really true." I said, "Neil deGrasse Tyson is an agnostic." I went back a week later. It said, "Neil deGrasse Tyson is an atheist" again–within a week!–and I said, "What's up with that?" and I said, "All right, I have to word it a little differently." So I said, "Okay, Neil deGrasse Tyson, widely claimed by atheists, is actually an agnostic."[66]
During the interview "Called by the Universe: A Conversation with Neil deGrasse Tyson" in , Tyson said: "I can't agree to the claims by atheists that I'm one of that community.
I don't have the time, energy, interest of conducting myself that way I'm not trying to convert people. I don't care."[67]
In March , philosopher and secularism proponent Massimo Pigliucci asked Tyson: "What is it you think about God?" Tyson replied: "I remain unconvinced by any claims anyone has ever made about the existence or the power of a divine force operating in the universe." Pigliucci then asked him why he expressed discomfort with the label "atheist" in his Big Think video.
Tyson replied by reiterating his dislike for one-word labels, saying: "That's what adjectives are for. What kind of atheist are you? Are you an ardent atheist? Are you a passive atheist? An apathetic atheist? Do you rally, or do you just not even care? So I'd be on the 'I really don't care' side of that, if you had to find adjectives to put in front of the word 'atheist'."
Pigliucci contrasted Tyson with scientist Richard Dawkins: "[Dawkins] really does consider, at this point, himself to be an atheist activist.
Dr neil degrassi tyson quotes And along the way, lessen the suffering of others. I'm a fan of the planets in any combination. You'd be surprised how far that gets you. It was found on his body, he was arrested, and he is now on trial.You very clearly made the point that you are not." Tyson replied: "I completely respect that activity. He's fulfilling a really important role out there."[68] Tyson has spoken about philosophy on numerous occasions. In March , during an episode of The Nerdist Podcast, he said that philosophy is "useless" and that a philosophy major "can really mess you up",[69] which was met with disapproval.[70][71][72][73] Pigliucci, a philosopher, later criticized him for "dismiss[ing] philosophy as a useless enterprise".[74]
Race and social justice
In , at a conference at the National Academy of Sciences, Tyson responded to a question about whether genetic differences might keep women from working as scientists.
He said that his goal to become an astrophysicist was "hands down the path of most resistance through the forces of society My life experience tells me, when you don't find Blacks in the sciences, when you don't find women in the sciences, I know these forces are real and I had to survive them in order to get where I am today. So before we start talking about genetic differences, you gotta come up with a system where there's equal opportunity.
Then we can start having that conversation."[75]
In a interview with Grantland, Tyson said that he related his experience on that panel in an effort to make the point that the scientific question about genetic differences can not be answered until the social barriers are dismantled. "I'm saying before you even have that conversation, you have to be really sure that access to opportunity has been level." In the same interview, Tyson said that race is not a part of the point he is trying to make in his career or with his life.
According to Tyson, "[T]hat then becomes the point of people's understanding of me, rather than the astrophysics. So it's a failed educational step for that to be the case. If you end up being distracted by that and not [getting] the message." He purposefully no longer speaks publicly about race. "I don't give talks on it.
I don't even give Black History Month talks. I decline every single one of them. In fact, since , I've declined every interview that has my being black as a premise of the interview."[76]
Tyson has positively advocated for the freedoms of homosexual and transgender people and argued about the topic repeatedly against right-wing commentators.[77][78][79][80]
NASA
Tyson is an advocate for expanding the operations of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Arguing that "the most powerful agency on the dreams of a nation is currently underfunded to do what it needs to be doing".[81] He has suggested that the general public has a tendency to overestimate how much revenue is allocated to the space agency. At a March address, referencing the proportion of tax revenue spent on NASA, he stated, "By the way, how much does NASA cost?
It's a half a penny on the dollar. Did you know that?
The people are saying, 'Why are we spending money up there' I ask them, 'How much do you think we're spending?' They say 'five cents, ten cents on a dollar.' It's a half a penny."[81]
In March , Tyson testified before the United States Senate Science Committee, stating that:
Right now, NASA's annual budget is half a penny on your tax dollar.
For twice that—a penny on a dollar—we can transform the country from a sullen, dispirited nation, weary of economic struggle, to one where it has reclaimed its 20th century birthright to dream of tomorrow.[82][83]
Inspired by Tyson's advocacy and remarks, Penny4NASA, a campaign of the Space Advocates nonprofit[84] was founded in by John Zeller and advocates doubling NASA's budget to one percent of the federal budget.[85]
In his book Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier Tyson argues that large and ambitious space exploration projects, like getting humans to Mars, will probably require some sort of military or economic driver in order to get the appropriate funding from the United States federal government.[86]
Media appearances
As a science communicator, Tyson regularly appears on television, radio, and various other media outlets.
He has been a regular guest on The Colbert Report, and host Stephen Colbert refers to him in his comedic book I Am America (And So Can You!), noting in his chapter on scientists that most scientists are "decent, well-intentioned people", but presumably tongue-in-cheek, that "Neil DeGrasse [sic] Tyson is an absolute monster."[87]
He has appeared numerous times on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
He has made appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and The Rachel Maddow Show.[88] He served as one of the central interviewees on the various episodes of the History Channel science program, The Universe.
Tyson participated on the NPR radio quiz program Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! in and [89] He appeared several times on Real Time with Bill Maher and he was also featured on an episode of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? as the ask-the-expert lifeline.[90] He has spoken numerous times on the Philadelphia morning show, Preston and Steve, on WMMR, as well as on SiriusXM's Ron and Fez and The Opie and Anthony Show.
Tyson has been featured as a podcast guest interviewee on The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe, Radiolab, Skepticality, and The Joe Rogan Experience, and he has he been in several of the Symphony of Science videos.[91][92] He lived near the World Trade Center and was an eyewitness to the September 11, , attacks.
He wrote a widely circulated letter on what he saw.[93] Footage he filmed on the day was included in the documentary film Minutes That Changed America.[94]
In , Tyson was the keynote speaker during the dedication ceremony of Deerfield Academy's new science center, the Koch Center in Massachusetts, named for David H.
Koch ' He emphasized the impact science will have on the twenty-first century, as well as explaining that investments into science may be costly, but their returns in the form of knowledge gained and piquing interest is invaluable. He has also appeared as the keynote speaker at The Amazing Meeting, a science and skepticism conference hosted by the James Randi Educational Foundation.[95]
Tyson made a guest appearance as a version of himself in the episode "Brain Storm" of Stargate Atlantis alongside Bill Nye and in the episode "The Apology Insufficiency" of The Big Bang Theory.
Archive footage of him is used in the film Europa Report. Tyson also made an appearance in an episode of Martha Speaks as himself.[96]
In a May StarTalk Radio show, The Political Science of the Daily Show, Tyson said he donates all income earned as a guest speaker.[97] he is a frequent participant in the website Reddit's AMAs (Ask Me Anythings) where he is responsible for three of the top ten most popular AMAs of all time.[98]
In Action Comics #14 (January ), which was published November 7, , Tyson appears in the story, in which he determines that Superman's home planet, Krypton, orbited the red dwarfLHS in the constellation Corvus lightyears from Earth.
He assisted DC Comics in selecting a real-life star that would be an appropriate parent star to Krypton, and picked Corvus, which is Latin for "Crow",[99][] and which is the mascot of Superman's high school, the Smallville Crows.[][] Tyson also had a minor appearance as himself in the film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.[]
In May , the Science Laureates of the United States Act of (H.R.
; th Congress) was introduced into Congress. Tyson was listed by at least two commentators as a possible nominee for the position of Science Laureate, if the act were to pass.[][] On March 8, , Tyson made a SXSW Interactive keynote presentation at the Austin Convention Center.[] On June 3, , he co-reviewed Gravity in a CinemaSins episode.[] He made two more appearances with CinemaSins, co-reviewing Interstellar on September 29, ,[] and The Martian on March 31, []
In , Tyson narrated and was a script supervisor for the science documentary Food Evolution, directed by Academy Award–nominated director Scott Hamilton Kennedy.[] In the same year, Tyson made a guest appearance on the Avenged Sevenfold album The Stage, where he delivered a monolog on the track "Exist".[] In , Tyson appeared on Logic's album Everybody as God, uncredited on various tracks, and credited on the song "AfricAryaN"[] as well as on "The Moon" on Musiq Soulchild's album Feel the Real.[]
In , Tyson made a second guest appearance on The Big Bang Theory as himself, together with fellow television personality Bill Nye, in the first episode of the show's final season ("The Conjugal Configuration").[] He also had guest appearances in Gravity Falls, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Zoolander 2, Ice Age: Collision Course, Family Guy, BoJack Horseman, The Simpsons, Salvation and Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?.
Personal life
Tyson lives in the Tribeca neighborhood[] of Lower Manhattan with his wife, Alice Young.
They have two children, Miranda and Travis.[][] Neil met his wife in a physics class at the University of Texas at Austin. They married in and named their first child Miranda after the smallest of Uranus' five major moons.[] Tyson is a wine enthusiast whose collection was featured in the May issue of the Wine Spectator and the Spring issue of The World of Fine Wine.[][]
Sexual misconduct allegations
During November and December , Tyson was accused of rape by a woman while an additional three women alleged inappropriate sexual advances.[][][] Thchiya Amet El Maat accused Tyson of drugging and raping her while both were graduate students at UT Austin in [] Katelyn Allers, a professor at Bucknell University, alleged Tyson touched her inappropriately at a American Astronomical Society gathering.[][] Ashley Watson, Tyson's assistant on Cosmos, alleged Tyson made inappropriate sexual advances to her in which led her to resign from the position days later.[][] In what Tyson described as a Native American handshake, he held her hand and looked her in the eye for 10 seconds.
When she left, he told her he wanted to hug her but would rather not in case he wanted more.[] A fourth anonymous woman alleged Tyson made inappropriate comments to her during a holiday party at the American Museum of Natural History.[] Tyson denied El Maat's rape accusation, while corroborating the basic facts around the situation of Allers and Watson's assertions, but claimed his actions were misinterpreted and apologized for any misunderstanding or offense.[][][]
Fox, National Geographic, the Museum of Natural History, and the producers of Cosmos announced investigations, which Tyson said that he welcomed.[] The National Geographic Channel announced on January 3, , that they were putting further episodes of StarTalk on hiatus so as "to allow the investigation to occur unimpeded".[][] The premiere of Cosmos: Possible Worlds, initially scheduled for March 3, , was also delayed while the investigation continued.[] On March 15, , both National Geographic and Fox announced, "The investigation is complete, and we are moving forward with both StarTalk and Cosmos," and that: "There will be no further comment." The networks affirmed that both StarTalk and Cosmos would resume, but that no date had been set.[] In July, the American Museum of Natural History said that Neil deGrasse Tyson would keep his job as director of the Hayden Planetarium.[]
