With acclaimed astrophysicists Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael A. Strauss, and J. Richard Gott at your side, here you will find a brief and yet breathtaking introduction to the universe, which will help you in your quest to understand how the cosmos actually works.A Brief Welcome to the Universe propels you from our home solar system to the outermost frontiers of space, building your cosmic insight and perspective through a marvelously entertaining narrative. How do stars live and die? What are the prospects of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe? How did the universe begin? Why is it expanding and accelerating in the process? Is our universe alone or part of an infinite multiverse? Exploring these and many other questions, this pocket-friendly book is your passport into the wonders of our evolving cosmos. 606 $aAstrophysics$vPopular works 606 $aCosmology$vPopular works 610 $aAccelerating expansion of the universe. 610 $aAccretion (astrophysics). 610 $aAlpha particle. 610 $aAndromeda Galaxy. 610 $aAngular diameter. 610 $aAstrobiology. 610 $aAstrophysics. 610 $aAtomic nucleus. 610 $aBarred spiral galaxy. 610 $aBig Bang. 610 $aCalculation. 610 $aChemical element. 610 $aChronology of the universe. 610 $aCircumference. 610 $aCopernican principle. 610 $aCosmic Background Explorer. 610 $aCosmic microwave background. 610 $aCosmic string. 610 $aCosmogony. 610 $aDark energy. 610 $aDe Sitter space. 610 $aDeuterium. 610 $aDimension. 610 $aEarth. 610 $aEinstein field equations. 610 $aElementary particle. 610 $aElliptic orbit. 610 $aEnergy density. 610 $aEvent horizon. 610 $aExoplanet. 610 $aExtraterrestrial life. 610 $aGalactic Center. 610 $aGalactic year. 610 $aGalaxy cluster. 610 $aGoogol. 610 $aGravitational wave. 610 $aGravity. 610 $aHawking radiation. 610 $aHubble Space Telescope. 610 $aHubble's law. 610 $aInflation (cosmology). 610 $aInterstellar medium. 610 $aIrregular galaxy. 610 $aJim Peebles. 610 $aJupiter. 610 $aKepler (spacecraft). 610 $aKuiper belt. 610 $aLight-year. 610 $aLongevity. 610 $aLuminosity. 610 $aMain sequence. 610 $aMeasurement. 610 $aMetric expansion of space. 610 $aMilky Way. 610 $aMolecule. 610 $aNeutron star. 610 $aNeutron. 610 $aNewton's law of universal gravitation. 610 $aNitrogen. 610 $aNuclear fusion. 610 $aNuclear reaction. 610 $aObservable universe. 610 $aOrion Nebula. 610 $aPhoton. 610 $aPhysicist. 610 $aPlanck (spacecraft). 610 $aPlanetary habitability. 610 $aPlanetary nebula. 610 $aPositron. 610 $aPrediction. 610 $aPressure. 610 $aQuantity. 610 $aQuantum tunnelling. 610 $aQuasar. 610 $aReal Humans. 610 $aRed giant. 610 $aResult. 610 $aSatellite galaxy. 610 $aSaturn. 610 $aShape of the universe. 610 $aSolar System. 610 $aSolar mass. 610 $aSpacecraft. 610 $aSpiral galaxy. 610 $aStar. 610 $aSupernova. 610 $aTemperature. 610 $aThe Astrophysical Journal. 610 $aThe Pluto Files. 610 $aThermal radiation. 610 $aUniverse Today. 610 $aUniverse. 610 $aUranus. 610 $aVacuum energy. 610 $aVacuum state. 610 $aWavelength. 610 $aWeakly interacting massive particles. 610 $aWelcome to the Universe. 610 $aWhite dwarf. 610 $aYear. 615 0$aAstrophysics 615 0$aCosmology 676 $a523.1 686 $aSCI005000$aSCI055000$2bisacsh 700 $aTyson$b Neil deGrasse$01165174 702 $aStrauss$b Michael Abram 702 $aGott$b J.
