FOR SCIENCE GEEKS, SPACE AND PHYSICS
NERDS, AND ALL WHO WANT TO UNDER-
STAND THEIR PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE,
this enlightening new book from celebrated astro-
physicist Neil deGrasse Tyson offers a unique take on
the mysteries of the cosmos, building on rich material
from his beloved StarTalk podcast.
As spacecraft plunge deeper, accelerators split atoms,
and telescopes capture signals billions of years old,
our understanding of the universe and our place in it
keeps changing in revolutionary ways. In this intriguing
book, Tyson brings the newest ideas of astrophysics to
answer philosophy’s perennial questions—How did life
begin? What is our place in the universe? Are we alone?
Building on the wisdom of the ancients and explaining
the most significant science of today, Tyson guides us
with trademark wit on a journey from past to future,
from the tiniest to the most colossal, from the frontiers
of our knowledge into the vast unknown—always
encouraging us, as he puts it, to keep looking up.Legendary astrophysicist NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON
