Neil deGrasse Tyson
About this listen
What forces molded the universe? Are those forces still at work, removing, changing, or adding heavenly bodies even as we gaze upward? Will humanity, and Earth itself, one day be gone? Are we alone?
In an era when science journalism is perhaps more thorough and ambitious than ever before, fascinating explorations of questions like these seem available to us almost every day - provided we have a working understanding of the scientific theories on which they're based. Discover the answers to these and other startling questions about the cosmos with My Favorite Universe, a spirited and intellectually engaging journey through the cosmos and its history, from before the big bang to the likely ways in which Earth, and perhaps the entire universe, might end.
In this lecture series, Professor Neil deGrasse Tyson, the astrophysicist who directs the nation's most famous planetarium, makes that understanding available to anyone. Explore how black holes are formed, how asteroids move through space, why the odds seem overwhelmingly in favor of extraterrestrial life, and much more. With the foundation provided by this magnificent course, the realities of the universe will be revealed in stark - and often violent - beauty.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Fascinating cosmological factoids
Great information from Tyson about the universe but his delivery can be confusing at times. A great listen about our place in the vast universe.

Be inspired to always look up
Doctor Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of our generation's great educators. He speaks with such enthusiasm and explains complex ideas in such a way that anyone can understand them, and one can't help but be awe-stricken: at the content of his lectures as well as his delivery of the subject matter. Always look up.
