And he even gives Willie a science lesson on planetary scale!

    I would love to have Neil as my cool uncle who just talks to me about crazy interesting space stuff.

      As how some uncles are in family gatherings, I wonder what would a drunk Neil be like.

      Seriously , one item per segment, each limited to about 5 minutes. He'd fill a channel with them.

      Did you mean to say "nearest star to our solar system?" There are a lot of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy, of which our solar system is a part of. Alpha Centauri, our closest star past our own sun, is still within the Milky Way.
      Here is a quote I found in an article once upon a time with a good size and distance comparison:
      "It’s difficult to conceptualize such vast distances, but a popular analogy sets the Sun at the size of a grapefruit. If you wanted to get from your grapefruit-sized Sun to a grapefruit-sized Alpha Centauri system, you would have to travel about 2,500 miles, which is about the distance from coast to coast on the continental United States. And that’s just to the Sun’s closest neighbor!"

    There's a simple trick you can do with a scaled down earth and moon to see relative distance (if it's actually to scale). Place your eyeball next to the earth's surface (next to the side facing the moon) and move the moon until it looks the same size it looks on the sky. It should aproximate closely and it's a neat trick to measure stuff.

    My favourite planet is actually Venus, I love the fact that it's actually (on average) the closest planet to us and yet the surface is so completely, almost unimaginably, inhospitable. I think having something so different so close by is a great reminder of how varied the universe is.
