Since its 2009 launch, the Kepler satellite has discovered more than 2,000 exoplanets, or planets outside our solar system. More exoplanets are being discovered all the time, remarkable in their variety. Astronomer Michael Summers and physicist James Trefil explore these remarkable recent discoveries: planets revolving around pulsars, planets made of diamond, planets that are mostly water, and numerous rogue planets wandering through the emptiness of space.

The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence: A Historical Journey traces humanity’s oldest question across centuries of dreaming, discovery, and scientific determination: Are we alone in the universe? From ancient myth-makers who imagined visitors descending from the heavens, to modern scientists armed with powerful telescopes and AI-driven data pipelines, this audiobook follows the full arc of our quest to find other intelligent life.

In 1927 Georges Lemaître argued that our universe is expanding, a conclusion rendered more startling by the astronomical data that backed it up, presented two years later by Edwin Hubble. The speed of this expansion is governed by Hubble's constant, and Discordance tells its troubled history.

How Big Is the Universe? is a poetic journey through space, time, and consciousness. Using Earthly metaphors—a tennis ball for the observable universe and Pluto for the actual one—it translates cosmic immensity into human scale. The book traces humanity’s expanding awareness: from believing Earth was the center to discovering trillions of galaxies held together by unseen forces of dark matter and dark energy. It explores the search for life, the fine-tuning of physical laws, and the idea that consciousness may be the universe knowing itself.

Black holes are some of the most fascinating phenomena in the natural universe. In this beautiful pocket volume, Odenwald explores the science behind black holes in simple and accessible language. He explains what black holes are, how they come into existence, and how they affect the universe around us. Taking into consideration subjects such as gravity, quantum mechanics, the holographic principle and thermodynamics along the way, The Essential Book of Black Holes provides the perfect starting point for anyone interested in the subject.

Erika Hamden, a renowned astrophysicist and educator, brings her passion for space to life in this engaging book. With years of experience studying the cosmos, Hamden specializes in making complex topics fun and easy to understand.

Depuis le début du XX? siècle, les révolutions de la physique fondamentale ont bouleversé notre relation à l'univers. Jean-Philippe Uzan nous embarque dans un voyage cosmique fascinant et nous raconte tout ce que l'on sait aujourd'hui sur la Terre, la Lune, le Soleil, les étoiles, mais aussi l'origine de la vie et les galaxies.

Zu Beginn des 18. Jahrhunderts entfesseln Isaac Newton und Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz eine heftige Debatte, die bis heute von Mathematikern und Philosophen geführt wird: Was ist das, was wir »Zeit« nennen? Thomas de Padova zeichnet das lebendige Bild einer Epoche, in der die Zeit zum heiß diskutierten Gegenstand der Naturwissenschaften wird und Uhren anfangen, unseren Alltag zu bestimmen. Eine fesselnde Entdeckungsreise in die beschleunigte Welt der Moderne.

Are the physical laws of our universe finely tuned, such that life can exist? What does this imply about how our universe formed? Questions like these are examined in Nature's Balancing Act, presented for a wide audience.

From launchpad explosions to a pernicious cricket infestation to the demanding management style of Musk himself, the rise of SpaceX was beset with challenges and far from inevitable. Find out how the startup beat the odds and flew high enough to outpace their rivals... and where they're going next.

What if reality is not a branching forest of infinite timelines, but a single, irreplaceable world whose value becomes clearer the moment we strip away seductive myths? This book confronts one of the most persistent modern fantasies—the idea of parallel universes—by examining it through science, philosophy, and the psychology of human perception. It exposes how easily speculative models slip into pseudoscience, how cultural repetition creates the illusion of credibility, and how misused scientific language blurs the boundary between rigorous inquiry and imaginative fiction.

Africa may have given rise to the first human beings, and Egypt probably gave rise to the first great civilizations, which continue to fascinate modern societies across the globe nearly 5,000 years later. From the Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria to the Great Pyramid at Giza, the ancient Egyptians produced several wonders of the world, revolutionized architecture and construction, created some of the world’s first systems of mathematics and medicine, and established language and art that spread across the known world.

The Voyager Space Missions: From the Grand Tour to Interstellar Space is the definitive story of humanity’s most daring leap into the unknown. When NASA launched Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 in 1977, the world had never seen the outer planets up close, and interstellar space was only a theory. What began as an ambitious plan to take advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime planetary alignment soon became one of the greatest scientific adventures in history.

At the center of our Milky Way lies one of the most extraordinary and enigmatic objects in the Universe — Sagittarius A *, a supermassive black hole four million times more massive than the Sun. Invisible to the human eye yet governing the motion of stars and gas across tens of thousands of light-years, it is both a gravitational anchor and a cosmic mystery. In A Hungry Giant in the Heart of Our Galaxy, science writer and philosopher Boris Kriger takes readers on a journey through three decades of discovery at the frontiers of astrophysics.
