How was our Sun formed? How do we know? In this Cosmic Query, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson explains how a gas cloud condensed into our Sun, touching on gravity, pressure, thermonuclear fusion and nucleation. Thanks to comic co-host Chuck Nice, the conversation ends up including pigeons and Mexican food.
