In Other Neil deGrasse Tyson News...
Neil shows up in Action Comics #14, to help superman find Krypton. Which, it turns out,
“is found 27.1 light-years from Earth, in the southern constellation Corvus (The Crow), orbiting the red dwarf star LHS 2520, which is cooler and smaller than our sun.”
Just in case you’re not sure, comic books aren’t real, so neither is planet Krypton. Though its a safe bet that it will be someday, in name anyway, should we ever actually find a planet orbiting LHS 2520, which is a real life star, located 2.7 years from Earth, ETC, Etc.
