Description

Neil deGrasse Tyson channels his inner-tour guide to lead Mark Zuckerberg through the cosmos in virtual reality; from in-depth explanations of James Webb Space Telescope and its images, to a visit to the International Space Station, Neil continually astounds with his intimate knowledge of the cosmos. Wearing their Oculus headsets, the pair are able to really get a sense of the scale of the James Webb Space Telescope. Afterward, Neil and Mark catch up in the Metaverse for a brief discussion of VR technology and its implications for the future of education.
