Dr. Tyson: Enceladus is the low hanging fruit in our solar system to go search for life. He says there's good reason to believe that liquid water from which those geysers are created comes all the way up to the surface. "It could be like old faithful except not with an intermittent kind of character"
How much has space imaging furthered our understanding of the Universe? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice learn the story of cameras on space probes like Voyager and Cassini and the exciting science of Saturn with planetary scientist Carolyn Porco.
