   "No one can make the mysteries of the universe more     
   comprehensible-and fun-than Neil deGrasse Tyson. With wit,     
   charm, and everyday analogies, he brings planetary science down     
   to earth and principles of astrophysics within reach. In this     
   entertaining book, illustrated with vivid photographs and art,     
   readers travel with him through space and time, starting with     
   the big bang and voyaging to the far reaches of the universe     
   and beyond. Along the way, we glean facts of science, triumphs,     
   and bloopers from history and pop culture-all part of a joyful     
   ride through the cosmos with a wise and effervescent guide.   
      
   "The book begins as we leave Earth and encounter 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? Is light a wave or a particle?   
   Classic physics experiments intersect with iconic Hollywood   
   movie scenes to explain the universe and our place in it. 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.   
      
   "For space enthusiasts, astrophysics brainiacs, and the   
   millions who follow Tyson's podcast and social media posts,   
   Cosmic Conundrums is a provocative window into the intricacies   
   of the cosmos.
