Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains the North Star and Why Your Zodiac Sign Might Be Wrong
Why is your zodiac sign probably wrong? On this explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice explain astronomy, astrology, and the movement of the north star and zodiac constellations. There’s a 13th zodiac sign?
You'll also learn about Earth’s wobble on its axis and what “precession” is. Was the north star always the north star? We talk about the north star of ancient times and what the night sky will look like in the future. How does precession affect your zodiac sign?
