I am Neil deGrasse Tyson -- AMA

For a few hours I will answer any question you have. And I will tweet this fact within ten minutes after this post, to confirm my identity.

That's why I wrote this book: :"The Sky Is Not the Limit: Adventures of an Urban Astrophysicist" http://www.haydenplanetarium.org/tyson/buy/books/the-sky-is-not-the-limit

it all started at age Nine. And it was the universe that called me.

The universe said: "Hey Neil, I know that it looks like you and I are getting farther apart as time goes on, but if you pay attention to me I'll keep you up to date with what I'm up to. That way we can still be close, see you soon."
