Are we all going to die? Neil DeGrasse Tyson holds court well into the wee hours of the night during the Star-Gazing Party at the 2010 World Science Festival, held at the base of the James Webb Space Telescope in downtown NYC. The astrophysicist and always-enthusiastic science communicator breaks down the reality behind the rumors and myths of 2012.

Thanks to WSF volunteer Kristopher Hite for capturing this moment with his handheld camera. Recorded June 2010; Posted October 2010
