Bill Nye the Fashion Guy.
Everyone’s favorite TV scientist, now 68 years old, is getting fans talking on social media amid the release of his Time Out magazine where the “Dancing with the Stars” alum looks unexpectedly swaggy in a profile urging readers to experience the upcoming solar eclipse.
“You’re talking about three minutes, 18 seconds … it will change your life,” told the outlet about making time to watch the sky dim as the moon eclipses the sun, which will happen around 3:25 p.m. EST on April 8 in New York City.
But it’s Nye’s outfits that are really getting fans excited on social media.

“Don’t miss this eclipse. It’s a big deal,” he said. “The next one’s not for 20 years. You don’t know where you’re going to be or if you’re going to be able to be there. So catch this one.”
