Obama Will Deliver Special Introduction to Fox’s Cosmos Reboot

President Obama‘s been a big promoter of science education during his time in office, and so he will be delivering a special introduction to the debut of Fox’s Cosmos reboot tomorrow. Fox is reviving the classic Carl Sagan series with astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and it is executive produced by none other than Family Guy‘s Seth MacFarlane.

The president held a screening of the new series at the White House recently, and his introduction will place a particular emphasis on encouraging younger people to “embrace the spirit of discovery.”

And in case you needed further proof of the president’s nerd cred, here’s a selfie he took with Tyson and Bill Nye the Science Guy.

Cosmos is debuting Sunday night on Fox at 9 P.M. and on National Geographic at 10 P.M.
