Neil deGrasse Tyson, one of my favourite author next to Carl Sagan. He tries to disclose the adventure called Origin of cosmic revolution in this book. The Origin, where we actually came from and where we are going the question still unanswered by the scientific community. Looking back to the history of humanity, we became advanced recently, we invented huge telescopes to discover new planets, stars etc. We invented vehicles, ships, airplanes, rockets to travel at a speeder pace. All this happened quite recently within a 500-1000 years timeline. But the history of humanity, the history of this earth is millions of years old. Likewise many civilizations might have formed and destroyed all across this universe. So we can’t say we are on the verge of creation or destruction. Anyway we are all in a quest to find out the Origin. The origin of everything !!!
"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time…" -T. S. Eliot, 1942

An interesting listen. Would love something more recent, but still a good primer.

Libro indispensable para todo curioso sobre los métodos de la ciencia. Sin embargo, podría ser complicado para quien no esté familiarizado con términos especializados, (me incluyo).
Habla sobre el inicio del universo, de lo que lo compone, de los orígenes de las galaxias, de los planetas, y demás.
Eres uno con el cosmos.

Great book, easy to read that takes the reader on a journey of the origins of the universe. Starting with the big bang, all the way to the origins of the planets, life on the planets and ending with whether or not we will meet another civilization elsewhere in the universe.

Pretty good, this book is part of Audible Included i.e. is "free" when subscribed on Audible. However, I'm not sure how well it really fits as an audiobook. The book contains a mix of commonly known information that most people with a modicum of interest in space will know, together with concepts that I found a bit more difficult to understand. The latter benefits from a mix of reading, thinking, reading, thinking, perhaps re-reading, etc, which is hard to do with audiobooks. Visually being able to see the numbers being thrown out to the reader could also be helpful.
So consider picking this up in ebook format, but all that aside, it's a good book (not too long) with some interesting food for thought.
