He’s no stranger to podcasts… and the mysteries of the Cosmos.

He’s an Astrophysicist and Astrophysics Professor at the City University of New York’s College of Staten Island as well as an associate with the Hayden Planetarium and Department of Astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

This Harvard and U of A graduate not only studies colliding galaxies, quasars, and the star formation history of the universe, but he’s also a frequent co-host on StarTalk with Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, and… is an award-winning author.

If that weren’t enough, he’s a devoted husband, father of three cool kids, is the President of the Astronomical Society of New York, and in 2019, was named a Fellow of the American Astronomical Society.

Despite all of this, in his own words, “he’s just an astronomer guy.”

It’s a real honor to welcome, Dr. Charles Liu!
