Биография и Путь Автора
Neil deGrasse Tyson was born in New York City in 1958, captivated by the wonders of the cosmos from a young age. His early fascination with astronomy began at just nine years old, when a visit to the Hayden Planetarium sparked a lifelong passion for the universe. Tyson’s academic journey reflected his commitment; after attending the Bronx High School of Science, he earned his bachelor’s degree in physics at Harvard University, master’s degrees from the University of Texas at Austin and Columbia University, and ultimately a Ph.D. in astrophysics from Columbia in 1991. As a young scholar, he was noted and encouraged by Carl Sagan, but Tyson charted his own path, consistently returning to New York to further his research and public engagement.
