Tyson hasn't just used publications to spread the word about science and the universe. He's hosted TV shows, regularly appears as a guest on other shows, and has his own podcast called "StarTalk." He hosted NovaScience Now in the mid-2000s, raising his profile even further to Americans. He was so popular as a host, that in 2014 the network brought him back to delve even further into science for the American people.
泰森不只是通过出版物来传播有关科学和宇宙的信息_]-dgG_2~q9R[M1k。他还主持电视节目,并以嘉宾的身份定期出现在其他节目上j=TYi^j16jjOa%。而且他还有自己的播客,名叫“星际奇谈”3ZUimNj3+rU%-U5。2005年左右,他主持了《新星今日科学》,让更多的美国人认识了他-12Si*]j_bCGm。作为主持人的他非常受欢迎,以至于在2014年,电视台让他回去继续搞研究,为美国人造福4o4YGpr~rl836
The 2014 show gave Tyson the opportunity to build on the work of a man who had impacted him early on in his life ... Carl Sagan. The show? Cosmos, a new version of the popular one that Sagan had hosted in 1980, based on his book of the same name. At the time of its airing in 1980, Cosmos was the most-watched show in the United States. If there was anyone who could live up to those kinds of expectations, it was Tyson. He didn't have to go it alone in 2014, though. He had the help of Sagan's widow, who worked as a writer for Cosmos, and the two made sure to include allusions to Sagan and his work throughout the rebooted series. The series was a success, and over 3 million Americans put their TV on Fox to catch the newest science lesson presented by Tyson every Sunday night for 13 weeks. The Cosmos reboot was undoubtedly successful, and showed Tyson's appeal to the general populace. But his appeal in the media has gone well beyond direct, serious science.
2014年的节目给了他一个机会,让他在卡尔·萨根的基础上继续搞研究,而此人在泰森年轻时对他影响颇深X0uR0wpsjh。这个节目名叫《宇宙大探索》,是1980年萨根主持过、基于同名书籍的节目的新版本bt5SPsW+vAzV!f44。在1980年播出时,它是美国收视率最高的一档节目69p#hTAr7~Tp,。如果有人可以实现这些期望的话,那就是泰森了Brq0|T^)6mp~。不过在2014年,他不需要自己独自完成F%8#)f0Sx#。他得到了萨根遗孀的帮助,而她也是该书作者,二人确保在新版本里有提到萨根和他的工作Y))ye*UPe2Z。该节目取得了成功,在连续13周的周日晚上,超过300万美国人将电视调到福克斯频道,收看泰森主持的最新科学课程VK2!*rI]&s,。新版本无疑是成功的,而且彰显了泰森对大众的吸引力ieZ]LI1qx[YMXzi_B。但当他出现在媒体上时,对大众的吸引力远远超出了严肃的科学5cI6+vwBnj%l)3zO+2d-
He's appeared as a guest star on Family Guy, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and as a character in New Ice Age. The Big Bang Theory, with its nerdy cast, of course welcomed Tyson on as a guest. He even made an appearance on Avenged Sevenfold's album The Stage. He didn't sing, but instead delivered a monologue during one of the band's songs. A musical appearance that was rumored to happen, but never did, was that Tyson would appear on an album with Wu Tang Clan member GZA. Though the appearance didn't happen, it speaks to Tyson's breadth of talents and popularity that many people thought it was a very probable thing for Tyson to do. While the album didn't happen, Tyson and GZA did appear together when GZA rapped on StarTalk.
他还客串了《恶搞之家》、《神烦警探》和《冰川时代5》L%7eHGwA;tEa_。充满书呆子的《生活大爆炸》当然也欢迎泰森前来客串4n|FKfp&6smUlo*f。他甚至还出现在七级炼狱的专辑《舞台》中z.WNHi.,gtDql4uJ。他没有唱歌,而是在该乐队的一首歌里念了一段独白[afg;lIk=%I#1ei1]&H0。有传闻说泰森会在武当帮成员GZA的一张专辑里露面,但人们始终没有发现Gqf.QB4224]ci80DQuz。虽然他没有出现,但由于泰森才华横溢、广受欢迎,许多人认为这件事是泰森可能会去做的_iA8AA,n,90Fyp。尽管专辑没有发行,但当GZA在“星际奇谈”中表演说唱时,二人确实同台了6!I7@L;=%66oVzX

Even the Daily Show has regularly featured Tyson to comment on science matters, and as he did with Pluto, Tyson made no bones about sharing his thoughts on what he thought needed correction. Live on-air, he informed Jon Stewart: "The beginning of your program? The Earth is spinning in the wrong direction. I'm sorry. I had to get that off my chest." The Earth on the credits was spinning clockwise, when Earth really spins counter-clockwise. Though Tyson pointed it out to Stewart and the entire viewing audience, it wasn't until Trevor Noah took over as host in 2015 that the show made a permanent correction to the Earth's spinning direction. Tyson was excited about the change, and tweeted out his thanks to the Daily Show.
《每日秀》甚至还定期邀请泰森来对科学问题发表评论,正如他对冥王星问题发表的看法一样,泰森针对自认为需要纠正的问题发表了自己的看法,而且没有任何顾虑s=Nzw4xT3G#。现场直播的时候,他和乔恩·斯图尔特说:“这是你节目的开始吗?地球旋转的方向是错误的-94.)L7Sc5N|0Sk。抱歉,但我必须得说心里话8,;A+K)qOn.R##fY]jX。”在演职员名单上的地球是顺时针旋转的,但实际上它应该是逆时针旋转的%%z;(4-;Wf#%d~k7r0。尽管泰森向斯图尔特和全体观众指出了这一点,但直到2015年特雷弗·诺亚接任主持人后,该节目才对地球的旋转方向进行了永久性的更正|wwOgf#-83S(*C。泰森对这一改变感到十分激动,并在推特上感谢了《每日秀》%qsYn5+7(7*9d
The Daily Show's globe isn't the only correction that Tyson's scientific knowledge has led to in the realm of pop culture. Remember the 1997 blockbuster movie Titanic? Tyson saw it - and he wasn't impressed. Near the end, after the ship has sunk, Rose is lying on a board in the freezing Atlantic Ocean. She's gazing up at the night sky, and the audience can see what she sees - the stars in the sky over the ocean. When Tyson saw the scene, he noticed something the rest of us didn't. The stars weren't the right ones and weren't the right arrangement for the year 1912, at the latitude and longitude where the Titanic sunk. So, as with the Daily Show, Tyson let director David Cameron know. According to Cameron, Tyson sent him a "snarky email" on the subject. Fifteen years after the film was first released, Cameron took Tyson's suggestion and adjusted the night sky in that scene to be accurate.
泰森把科学知识带到了流行文化领域,除了《每日秀》以外,他还在其他地方作了更正iKbO;Z%cJZjM。还记得1997年上映的大片《泰坦尼克号》吗?泰森也看了,但这部电影并未给他留下深刻印象9z)wkfY,D#_KR.。在接近结尾时,船沉之后,露丝躺在大西洋冰冷海水中的木板上ZcN;XYMUEx&4c7。她凝视着夜空,看到了海洋之上夜空中的星星,观众也可以看到这一景象Kf6zMpOro9agS!f7H。当泰森看到这一幕时,他注意到了我们其他人没有看到的东西TF6y9~+GM|TTN。星星的景象是错误的,也不是1912年当时的场景,这并不符合泰坦尼克号沉没所在地的经纬度)SSB,n@nw_D5。如同他指出《每日秀》的错误一样,他也让卡梅隆导演知道了此事Tbi3%Y8j*(ctA03aW。据卡梅隆说,泰森就此事给他发了一封“刻薄的邮件”.v=BujjRPcbU。电影首次上映15年后,卡梅隆采纳了泰森的建议,调整了夜空的场景,使其准确无误%^6*Q%=)R#31kb4u(pu
Titanic and the Daily Show weren't enough for Tyson. He's even had a hand in keeping Superman scientifically accurate. DC Comics wanted to feature the world's most famous astrophysicist in a comic, but Tyson wouldn't do it unless he could be sure of the accuracy. With the distance Krypton is supposed to be from the Earth, Tyson he would never be able to help Superman spot it, so what did he do? He did his research found an actual red star to serve as Krypton, and crafted a story whereby Superman would combine all the telescopes on Earth to be able to see Krypton.
对泰森而言,仅仅指出《泰坦尼克号》和《每日秀》的错误是不够的k^OD6m9hx@5i。他甚至还帮助保持了超人的科学准确性a6k-1aL#dM4pPyd-。DC漫画想在漫画中塑造出世界上最著名的天体物理学家形象,但除非泰森能确保其准确性,否则他是不会这么做的yfP3SUo!_WK;-e81z3。基于漫画里氪星与地球的距离,泰森没法帮助超人发现它,那么他做了什么?他做了研究,发现了一颗可以充当氪星的红色星球,而且编了一个故事,说超人可以把地球上所有的望远镜都利用起来,这样就能看到氪星了KO%Xg(4^ng
No media format has been untouched by Tyson. The man is everywhere, spreading the word of science, and the people of the world are listening. Creators and producers take his advice, and seek him out for appearances. Among scientists, he is unique in this kind of stardom.
没有一种媒体形式是泰森未涉猎的7O=WRNw|voS=mNauOK。这个人无处不在,传播着科学知识,全世界的人都在倾听Pa1A(go]2M9!TX。创作者和制作人都采纳了他的建议,并希望他能露面vuq!rV71RtO!Xir0*。在科学家圈子里,他的明星地位是独树一帜的0nqqMhsfqa(4*jy
