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

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.
