This hour, our week of discussions about life in the universe continues as we talk with two prominent astrophysicists about the possibility of life outside Earth. Astrophysicist Adam Frank is part of a team of scientists who are currently using the most advanced technology to search for life on other planets. This hour, we talked with Frank about that work and what would happen if they found something. Plus, we'll talk with Neil deGrasse Tyson about the likelihood of life on other planets and the variety of life here on Earth.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is presenting “Delusions of Space Enthusiasts” on December 1, 2023, at 8 p.m. at Foxwoods Resort and Casino.

- Neil deGrasse Tyson: Astrophysicist, author, and science communicator. His newest book is To Infinity and Beyond: A Journey of Cosmic Discovery
