Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson will come to Omaha’s Holland Center next spring to promote his new book.

His May 15 appearance will include a talk about the topics in "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry," and each audience member will receive a copy of the book. He will also answer questions.

Tyson is a member of the NASA advisory council and was on a commission to study the future of the American aerospace industry. He also is known for his work as a host of the PBS series "NOVA ScienceNOW."

He has researched the structure of the Milky Way, star formation and dwarf galaxies, among other things.

Tickets for his Omaha appearance go on sale Thursday at ticketomaha.com or 402-345-0606. Prices range from $65 to a $225 VIP ticket that includes a meet-and-greet with Tyson.
