Noted astronomer Neil DeGrasse Tyson, who’s become the Face of Science these days (eat it, Bill Nye) had a chat with Conan O’Briel at his desk last night. Tyson made a few pointed comments on Star Wars, accurately diagnosed the age of the CONAN moon, and sincerely discussed the time he helped Superman find Krypton on a telescope. It’s also worth pointing out that Jack McBrayer was on the same episode — it was a super-wacky night.

According to Neil, “The Starship Enterprise would wipe its ass on the Millennium Falcon.” Can’t imagine how’d that upset people.

Neil says the moon was that size a few billion years ago, which makes Conan & Andy one-celled animals.

Neil helped determine what star system Krypton was in. It’s good to have the Man of Steel owe you a favor.
It’s rare these days to find a man with weird hair you can trust. Conan is one of those rarities. Trust Conan. Four weeknights a week on TBS.

Of course the Enterprise would demolish the Millennium Falcon. The fair match-up would be the Enterprise versus a Star Destroyer.
