Welcome to the Universe: An Astrophysical Tour

By Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael A. Strauss, J. Richard Gott

Categories: Science & Math

Based on an introductory astronomy course they taught at Princeton University, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael A. Strauss and J. Richard Gott take readers on a tour of the cosmos. The authors explain the planets, stars, galaxies, black holes, Einstein's relativity, the big bang and the search for life elsewhere, with equations kept simple and many illustrations. They also discuss open questions such as dark matter and the shape of the universe. The book was published in 2016.
