Drawing on mythology, history, and literature--alongside his trademark wit and charm--Tyson and StarTalk senior producer Lindsey Nyx Walker bring planetary science down to Earth and principles of astrophysics within reach. In this entertaining book, illustrated with vivid photographs and art, readers travel through space and time, starting with the Big Bang and voyaging to the far reaches of the universe and beyond. Along the way, science greets pop culture as Tyson explains the triumphs--and bloopers--in Hollywood's blockbusters: all part of an entertaining ride through the cosmos. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book begins as we leave Earth, encountering new truths about our planet's atmosphere, the nature of sunlight, and the many missions that have demystified our galactic neighbors. But the farther out we travel, the weirder things get. What's a void and what's a vacuum? How can light be a wave and a particle at the same time? When we finally arrive in the blackness of outer space, Tyson takes on the spookiest phenomena of the cosmos: parallel worlds, black holes, time travel, and more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor science junkies and fans of the conundrums that astrophysicists often ponder, \u003ci\u003eTo Infinity and Beyond \u003c\/i\u003eis an enlightening adventure into the farthest reaches of the cosmos.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLegendary astrophysicist \u003cb\u003eNEIL DEGRASSE TYSON \u003c\/b\u003eis the host of the acclaimed podcast StarTalk Radio and Emmy award-winning National Geographic Channel shows\u003ci\u003e StarTalk\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCosmos\u003c\/i\u003e.
