World famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson is coming to Australia and joined John Stanley for an extensive interview before arriving Down Under.

Like many who love outer-space, Neil’s passion for the stars started at the age of nine, after visiting the local Planetarium.

It was that passion which lead deGrasse Tyson to a global career. He was twice appointed to serve on the Future of the United States Aerospace Industry commission by then-president George W. Bush.

The scientist has also released a number of books and TV series.
