Just Visiting This Planet, Revised and Updated for the Twenty-First Century by Neil Degrasse Tyson
From Neil deGrasse Tyson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, comes a spirited journey to the planets and stars, revealing the answers to many mysteries of our galaxy and beyond.
In this companion volume to Merlin's Tour of the Universe, we visit again with Merlin, a timeless traveler from Planet Omniscia, who answers a collection of imaginative questions about the cosmos from curious stargazers. Whether waxing poetic about Earth and its environs, the Sun and its stellar siblings, physical laws, or galaxies near and far, Merlin's remarks are witty, humorous, and clear as a starry night sky.
Merlin tackles such conundrums as:
If aliens exploded Earth's moon, what effect would it have on us?
Are black holes gathering matter in preparation for another big bang in another time and dimension?
Why does the Moon look bigger on the horizon?
Accompanied by the playful illustrations of Stephen J. Tyson, Just Visiting This Planet is a lively, entertaining, and indispensable guidebook to the universe.
