      EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

      The vast expanse of the universe is certainly daunting. Can one really find out what it is actually made of and how it came to be? In the grand scheme of the cosmos, where do humans truly belong? Many people will consider answering these questions as beyond their capacity; the unfathomable which can only be grasped by minds like that of Einstein and Newton. In Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, renowned author and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson demonstrates how the secrets of the cosmos are within reach of the simply curious minds.

      Humorous and enlightening, Neil deGrasse Tyson proves to be indeed an outstanding educator in science and astrophysics. Astrophysics for People in a Hurry tackles the history of the universe—from the Big Bang up to the discoveries of dark energy and dark matter in the modern era. Found within the twelve brief yet comprehensible chapters are fascinating facts about Earth, the Milky Way, what lies beyond, and the interconnection of the existing universal order.
