Bill Nye the Science Guy made a special appearance on the Ithaca Commons this afternoon. Nye, a Cornell graduate, was in town for the 40th annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society’s Division for Planetary Sciences which started on Thursday and will continue until Wednesday, the 15th. Nye led a huge crowd on the Carl Sagan Planet Walk, a 1 to 5 billion scale model of the solar system, which starts on the Commons and ends at the Sciencenter. Pictured above are Nye and Kevin McGouldrick of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, standing at the planet Venus.
