The host? Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

Undoubtedly will be coming to a PBS station near you. (I can view two, via roof antenna -- only thing available here.)

That is, if the Republicans do not succeed in killing PBS.

Maybe we ought to do something about that. D'ya think?

Don't get me started about shutting down the telescopes on Keck Peak near Tucson.
