The night sky belongs to all of us. It's the only thing you can lay your eyes on that's 13.8 billion years old. I go to the night sky to check in on the meaning of my life.

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.
