In this adaptation of his "genuinely accessible" (Summer Reading 2017, The Sunday Times) The New York Times number one bestseller Astrophysics for People in a Hurry (ISBN 978 0 393 60939 4), Tyson has-for the first time-served up the universe in a handy, portable package designed specifically for young readers.

Along the way, Tyson's characteristic wit ensures a journey packed with fun. |
| Editorial Review | The authors deliver an informative guide to modern astronomy, and most scientific terms or principles are adequately explained in easy-to-follow but not patronising language. There are useful discussions on topics such as Big Bang cosmology, relativity, extraterrestrial life, dark matter, dark energy and black holes. -- BBC Sky at Night "Tyson is admirably straightforward in his descriptions and doesn't lapse into being condescending or patronising and I especially like the way he's happy to say that there are things we just don't know and phenomena we don't understand." -- The Letterpress Project |
