Well, not quite everything but a lot of stuff anyway as rockstar astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson [1] discusses the origins of the solar system, the recent IAU debate on planets, and the possibility of extra-terrestrial life and more in this extended-play edition of the Center For Inquiry [2]'s podcast Point of Inquiry [3]. We've already had our obligatory reading this weekend so I'm making this your obligatory listening [4] (MP3 [5]).

If you think any of these topics are boring then you've never listened to Neil deGrasse Tyson before who is perhaps one of the most entertaining and literate scientists since Carl Sagan. As well as being the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium [6], Dr. Tyson is the author of The Sky is Not the Limit: Adventures of an Urban Astrophysicist; and also Origins: Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution, co-written with Donald Goldsmith.
