Take a closer look at Harry Potter, The Wizard of Oz, Mary Poppins and 2001: A Space Odyssey - from a scientific perspective. Neil deGrasse Tyson returns to NJPAC to break down the science that your favorite films got wrong, and some of the stuff they got right. You'll laugh, you'll learn and you'll never watch movies the same way again. Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson is an American astrophysicist, planetary scientist, author and science communicator. Since 1996, he has been the director of the Hayden Planetarium at the Rose Center for Earth and Space in New York City.
