Bill Nye, 68, channels his inner supermodel while posing in streetwear for epic photo shoot as he gears up for solar eclipse: ‘It will change your life’

Bill Nye, the scientist, made supermodels compete with his epic photo shoot for Time out New York.

The 68-year-old TV star posed like a pro in a variety of risqué outfits as she talked about the upcoming solar eclipse in the latest issue published on Monday.

“The Eclipse is Nye,” read the cover headline, with the iconic scientist adorned in a vibrant orange quilted vest, stylish matching sunglasses, and baggy cargo pants.

In a subtle nod to the celestial event, Nye wore a T-shirt with an image of the solar system and paired it with a Versace vest. ‘

‘Don’t miss this eclipse. It’s very important. The next one won’t be for 20 years,” he told the outlet, referring to the moon that obscured the sun on April 8. “You don’t know where you’re going to be or if you’ll be able to be there. . So grab this one.

In another striking snapshot, Nye, wearing sunglasses, looks up, echoing the gesture that millions of Americans will soon make during the solar eclipse.

“On Monday, April 8, the Moon will pass between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun,” Time Out New York captioned the photoshoot on Instagram.

“In preparation for the celestial event, we sat down with Bill Nye (@billnye) to get answers to all our burning questions about the eclipse and his top recommendations for viewing in New York City.”

In the interview, Nye encouraged enthusiasts to “take that day, that noon drive down the road” to witness the eclipse along its sweeping, 115-mile-wide path, which stretches from Mexico to Canada.

“If you’re not on the path, it’s not the same,” he added.

On Monday, April 8, the sky will briefly darken as the moon eclipses the sun, engulfing parts of North America in momentary darkness.

“You’re talking about three minutes, 18 seconds… it will change your life,” Nye said.

When asked about the anticipation for the upcoming total solar eclipse, Nye explained how the event still draws everyone’s attention.

‘We just wonder where we come from. We wonder about the cosmos and our place within it.

‘Everybody does it. Everyone wonders if there are other people on other planets or other stars, if we are here and come and go.’

Nye, who starred on the beloved children’s show Bill Bye the Science Guy from 1993 to 1998, said he hopes his young fans “pause and think about their place in the cosmos.”

“How amazing it is that we understand the motion of the Earth and the Moon so precisely.”
