Neil deGrasse Tyson's book provides a great overview of the fundamentals of astrophysics and allows readers to gain a basic understanding of the subject in a short time." The final chapter Reflections on the cosmic perspective, I found to be utterly profound. After all was said and done in the previous chapters it’s important we think what this is all about. Tyson describes a study were subjects felt ‘insignificant’ when being taught about the universe. A feeling I am sure we have all felt when trying to grapple with such weighty matters. Some of us (me included) have felt the same when pondering the very small world of quantum physics – tiny, tiny particles zipping around sub-atomic space. However, Tyson makes the point to feel inadequate and feel miserable about it, is a measure of our ego. Humankind is such a minuscule part of this wonderful universe; we are no more significant or less significant then all the creatures who live and who have ever lived (Oh my – I love that!!).

The style is vintage Tyson – engaging, chatty and littered with historical and linguistic anecdotes..." — Times Higher Education The cosmic perspective comes from the frontiers of science, yet it is not solely the provenance of the scientist. It belongs to everyone. Its discovery reveals interesting insights, such as that celestial matters operate under similar laws to ours. Newton found that too when he discovered the laws of gravity. Gravity is a universal law of nature, which means that it applies to outer space too. Astronomical instruments such as telescopes have allowed us to view distant objects in space with greater clarity and detail than ever before.Exploring the mysteries of the universe has never been easier with Neil deGrasse Tyson's #AstrophysicsforPeopleinahurry – a must-read for those wanting to understand how the stars align!"

Now, we have only about 1,000 words to recount you briefly the history of nearly everything and, of course, we are going to need to rush through Tyson’s presentation. Aprendí que la exploración y el anhelo de saber más sobre nosotros es más importante que muchas otras cosas. Tyson has received numerous awards, including NASA’s Distinguished Public Service Medal in 2004 and the Public Welfare Medal awarded to Tyson by the National Academy of Sciences in 2015 for his “extraordinary role in exciting the public about the wonders of science.” “Astrophysics for People in a Hurry PDF Summary” Hayden Planetarium (2018).
