This amazing video was created using the audio of our 10 Questions interview with astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson as he talks about what he considers the universe’s most incredible fact. (That’s our Gilbert Cruz interviewing him.) 

Can you spot the issue of TIME in this new Rick Perry ad? 

Managing editor Richard Stengel talks with Kurt Andersen, author of our cover story, about the decision to recognize the global protest movements of 2011 in TIME’s Person of the Year issue. 

George Clooney stopped by the TIME offices today for a live chat with TIME managing editor Rick Stengel. While promoting his new film, “The Ides of March,” Clooney spoke about his time spent at the home of Italy’s Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, which he called “one of the more astonishing evenings of my life.” 

More of this interview will appear in TIME and on TIME.com for our October 24 issue. 

You know that embarrassing home video you just can’t seem to escape? This might be ours.

Anyone know where we can find a TIME Machine? 

In this week’s editor’s letter, TIME managing editor Rick Stengel reflects on his own 9/11 experience: 

“On that morning 10 years ago, I was sitting in Time’s office in New York when I first heard news reports of the plane  crashing into the World Trade Center. I was then the editor of Time.com. I wrote the first news story of the grim events of  that day and later went to the roof of the Time & Life Building  to see the smoke rising from the southern tip of Manhattan. This issue is a fitting memorial to what we have all lived through and what we all remember.”

In the video above, you can watch him introduce our “Beyond 9/11” project, a reflection of the American resilience that lives on 10 years later.
