YouTube Description
as posted by the channelEveryone knows Superman gets his energy from Earth's G-Type yellow Sun, and that the light from red stars like Krypton's sun has a negative effect, right? Not so, says Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who has even appeared in a Superman comic book and helped the Kryptonian find the location of his homeworld.
