Renowned Astrophysicist Explains Universe’s Beauty

The universe has so many beautiful things to offer from plants to animals to stars to planets and so much more. People have a very tough time deciding on what item in the universe is their favorite thing but one man has come up with a very eloquent answer to some of the most interesting questions about the universe today.

World-renowned astrophysicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson, was interviewed by Time magazine recently and was asked the following question:

“What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the universe?”

Tyson is a scientist by day and an author by night and he provides an answer to the question that is not only eloquent but also mind-blowing. Be sure you watch the video, which is embedded in this post so you can hear Tyson’s response. We have printed it here too.

“We are part of this universe; we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts, is that the universe is in us,” Tyson says.

“Many people feel small because they’re small and the universe is big, but I feel big,” Tyson explains.

The science related to Tyson’s answer is provided in the video embedded in this post thanks to editor Max Schlickenmeyer.
