Today We Learned Our Friend Bill Nye Took Astronomy Classes From Carl Sagan [VIDEO]

Did the classroom implode into a black hole of awesomeness?

Recommended Videos

Our friend Bill Nye is being profiled by the new PBS/NOVA series The Secret Lives of Scientists. Previously, he’s shared his origin story and spoken about his penchant for bowties. In this clip, Bill chats about how deeply he’s been influenced by Carl Sagan (you know, the host of the original Cosmos), and how Bill hopes to continue Sagan’s legacy.

Is it possible for us to love this man any more than we already do? Somehow the answer always seems to be, “Obviously, yes.”
