Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil deGrasse Tyson

5.0

Neat little book with a few snapshots into the wild and wacky field of studying the universe. I still am flabbergasted over the chapter about dark energy, when Tyson said that the repulsive force they generate can accelerate galaxies away from us to velocities faster than light. If someone had told me that a week ago I would have laughed at them, but there it is. What an amazing place we live in.
