À propos de cet audio
Every night, above our heads, a drama of epic proportions is playing out. Diamond planets, zombie stars, black holes heavier than a billion Suns. The cast of characters is extraordinary, and each one has its own incredible story to tell.
We once thought of our Earth as unique, but we have now discovered thousands of alien planets, and that’s barely a fraction of the worlds that are out there. And there are more stars in the Universe than grains of sand on every planet in the Solar System. But amid all this vastness, the Milky Way Galaxy, our Sun and the Earth are home to the only known life in the Universe – at least for now.
With a foreword from Professor Brian Cox, and access to all the latest NASA mission information, Andrew Cohen takes readers on a voyage of discovery, via the probes and telescopes exploring the outer reaches of our galaxy, revealing how it was formed and how it will inevitably be destroyed by the enigmatic black hole at its heart. And beyond our galaxy, the expanding Universe, which holds clues to the biggest mystery of all – how did it all begin? We now know more about those first moments of existence than we ever thought possible, and hidden in this story of how it all began are the clues to the fate of the Universe itself and everything in it.

I listened to the audiobook for this title, so no pretty pictures (how about a PDF audible‽), but plenty of cool science and facts.
I was worried going in that much of the content would be review, or dated material, but I was constantly learning as I went along.
Andrew Cohen is the narrator, and it works, but I think a professional would have made the material a bit more exciting.
A companion guide of sorts to a TV series (that I have not seen), I think I'm going to need the hardcover for my coffee table.
If you enjoy cutting age discussions about our universe, this is a solid pick up (get the print edition).
Needs A PDF With Space Photography 🤗
