The Meteor Explainer
What is a Bolide? Neil deGrasse Tyson adds some more context to an explanation of meteor showers he gave two years ago. In this video, you'll learn the difference between a Meteor, a Meteorite and a Bolide.
Did you know Neil had his own Meteorite fragment? Well, of course he does. Watch him show it off while talking about the Chicxulub impact that killed off the dinosaurs. He'll also tell you the best time of night to watch a meteor shower.
