Everyone's gazing at the heavens, but a voyage through the star-studded contents of this book will change your view of those other worlds.30-Second Astronomy encapsulates the terrifying hugeness of the cosmos into bite-size particles that mere earthlings can understand: 50 incredible ideas, each brought down to Earth using no more than two pages, 200 words, and a picture.
