When Neil Degrasse Tyson looked at the stars as a child, all he could see was the glare of the city’s night sky. But a trip to the country sparked a love for astronomy and led to a successful career as an astrophysicist and as director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York City.

What makes Tyson unique, however, is his ability to communicate his knowledge and experience to the general public in words and concepts that everyone understands. He has several television and radio shows, and is one of the most followed person on Twitter.

Read this book to find out how Tyson used his passion to create a career for himself and how he now shares his information through social media as well as through broadcasts.
