About

Guiding us through Einstein's theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, and string theory, Astronomical explains the baffling mysteries of the cosmos: from alien life to the zodiac, from white holes to wormholes, and from quasars to quark stars.

Does the Big Bang prove the existence of God? What's the universe expanding into? Is Earth the only planet that supports life?

Space is the biggest, oldest, hottest, coldest, strangest thing a human can study. It's no surprise, then that the weirdest facts in science (not no mention the weirdest scientists themselves) are found in astrophysics and cosmology.

If you're looking for instructions on how to set up your granddad's telescope, this book probably isn't for you. In Astronomical, Tim James takes us on a tour of the known (and unknown) universe, focusing on the most-mind boggling stuff we've come across, as well as unpacking the latest theories about what's really going on out there.

Guiding us through Einstein's theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, and string theory, Astronomical delves into the baffling corners of the cosmos and tackles the biggest mysteries we face. This is the science of space at its absolute strangest.
