The Complexity of Our Universe and All Things Astronomy with Astrophysicist Tanveer Karim

Season 3 - Episode 19: I remember one of the very first books
that my mother bought me. It was a Bengali kid's book written in
a diary entry format from the perspective of an incredibly
curious six-year-old kid. The little boy would ask his mom and
dad a number of questions, and one that stood out to me the most
was, “What are planets?” My five-year-old self read this for the
first time and became intrigued by simply learning that there are
so many different planets and that there was even the possibility
of finding little green men on the planet I learned as being
Mars. I can recall just how mind-blown I was, and that initial
exposure to the fact that there are so many different planets
pushed me to want to discover more about this endless, foreign
territory we call space.
