Episode notes

I looked at your orbit today. I'm a little bit eccentric and slightly inclined. The process is usually very long time, you know, it's really we're talking millions of years until the objects from the main belt space end up migrating into the near earth space better. They got to do it within two hours. That's all I care about. No, not. Maybe a couple of million years. Oh my gosh. And I'm glad it's not. It's not hitting earth. You all needed to verify that because imagine imagine the bad press that the Neil deGrasse Tyson asteroid hits the I know it's here.That would blow up on Twitter.

Neil has his own asteroid?! On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Marcia Belsky answer fan questions about different types of asteroids with Marina Brozovic, orbital dynamicist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
