You're correct. There was no recording engineer, just a stationary camera at the back of the hall--no special microphones either.

Ummm....always a pleasure to listen to Dr. Tyson, of course. But, nerd that I am, can I point out something? At around 3:00 (in this "Part 3 of 5") there is a discussion about the country of Brazil, and what Americans think of when asked about the country...and the suggestion of bikinis was tossed from the audience. I heard a male voice near the camera's mic say "Not this time of year." So, this is my "Ummm..." moment to add to Dr. Tyson's list of science illiteracy: This talk was given in November, 2013 at the Univ. located in Michigan...this is of course in the *northern* hemisphere of planet Earth. And in November, in MI, yes it's usually not "bikini weather". But *Brazil* is mostly in the *southern* hemisphere!! Where, of course, it is summertime in November. What's more, the northern portion of the country is at the Equator! Where there are virtually no seasonal variances. You're welcome....
