Astrophysicists Discuss Whether JWST Discovered Alien Exoplanets

Hey Neil, I’m 70 years old now and I do remember watching Carl Sagan every single episode on PBS was on the edge of my seat and had never even remotely considered anything as well as everything he was all about Lisa that you had on today has that same love in her voice and intellect as Carl Sagan did.I hope she goes far and I hope you have her on again. What a beautiful example of a pioneering attitude and a love for life to make the world a better place thank you again for sharing your life with us through the sciences.

[@TripleBerg]

Hi, Charles. Carl Sagan was such an inspiration for future generations of engineers, scientists, and, of course, astrophysicists. In particular, he mentored a young high school student who showed interest and enthusiasm for astrophysics. 😊 His novel and movie Contact was one of the most intelligent depictions of an sentient life form more advanced and very different from humans.

[@dixiegamoning8786]

Lisa Kaltenegger is so animated as she speaks that it's fascinating to watch her and listen. Loved this podcast for the information as well as just listening to the enthusiasm and excitement. It's what makes Dr. Tyson so popular--he's animated and his passion shows whenever he speaks on any subject but particularly in explaining mode.

[@Predakhann]

Now no StarTalk is complete without the Mr. Rogers heart-to-heart at the end. Thanks, Dr. Tyson for bringing the nostalgia.

[@myhomeo429]

I read Lisa’s book a couple of months ago. It’s understandable to a layman and very entertaining. It’s one of those books that left me wanting to read more about the subject.

[@desert_sky_guy]

Startalk is always great, but this episode was another level of fun and informative. Thank you, Neil, for what you do! And thank you for bringing Mrs. Kaltenegger on the show - she is so dynamic, bright, sharp, witty and passionate about everything she does and learns. More of her in the public sphere would be good for everyone.

Thank you Mr. Tyson for having Matt Kersen on when he interjects a thought he does not throw all my concentration out the window never to be seen again. I hope you have him on continually. I will then resubscribe to your program. I love your work Neil you are totally awesome, so glad you were born and I’m so glad to be coming through this space in time at the same time you are alive and well thank you for sharing all your beauty of communication with us. 70 years old guy in the Philippines . Thank you for personally showing us how to make our world a better place

[@TheBlaze267]

Matt is good to have on here but i think what i miss with him and gain with say chuck. Is matt is a comedian but he seems to know alot more about the sciences that he seems to respond more with inputs but not really ask the questions that someone like us would ask our screens. With chuck he seems to be learning more as he does the show and seem to ask the questions that us the viewers are also asking our screens as if we are there. Unless thats just me.

[@uufos]

@@TheBlaze267 personally having only seen a few episodes with chuck and my first one here with Matt- I personally think Matt is a more engaged listener, the questions he pointed towards Lisa really struck me as someone who is profoundly interested in understanding what the guests perspective is. Maybe that was my take but I do find the way Chuck interjects with dialogue and finishes Neil's sentences really messes with my ability to follow along with the conversation. Could be that it is just a pet peeve of mine but I really enjoyed his (Matt's) appearance here. I love StarTalk, and the people that come together to share this amazing program with us.

“Parents won’t let me”?

[@John_Fisher]

That's a shame, usually parents can be expected to support going into a science career. Neil deGrasse Tyson does like to discuss what we know about the universe, but about God/spirituality he generally will say that he doesn't see sufficient evidence and his discussions on the topic tend to disappoint those interested investigating them. When he asked Steve-O what questions Steve-O had for him, Steve-O was interested in asking questions about life after death, but he seemed disappointed in Neil's answers. It's about 40 minutes into the following interview: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqXNfGiIlt5roNk
