On the Daily Show

Neil Tyson was on tonight. It's always fun to see someone I've met in person appear on national TV.

Anyway... it was good. I particularly enjoyed Jon needling him by saying the universe began 10k years ago, and Neil responded as fast as I would have with "14 billion".

Now Colbert is making jokes about Pluto, GRBs, and the WMAP results.

And for good measure, Jon keeps piling on Bill Gates for his pretty minor faux pas last night.

Pretty good few nights on Comedy Central. If they ever want another astronomer for a guest, I volunteer.
