Astrophysics Made Simple: Everything you should know, explained in everyday language

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

The universe is under no obligation to make sense, Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson once famously said. But this audiobook helps.

​​​​​​​Essential Astrophysics for Normal People is a fun-to-listen-to plain-English guide to the stars, black holes, dark matter, and more. We explore wonders such as how stars are born and die, what is going on inside the sun, how mass and energy curve spacetime, how light carries stories across billions of years, all without diving into equations or jargon.

This is for anyone who has stared at the night sky and wanted more than a sense of awe. It is for the person who wants to know what is going on up there, why it matters, and how scientists figured out such astonishing things in the first place.
