Death from the Skies!: The Science Behind the End of the World
Death from the Skies!: The Science Behind the End of the World | Philip Plait, Ph D Philip Plait
4 posts | 4 read | 7 to read
With wit, humor, and an infectious love of astronomy that could win over even the science-phobic, this fun and fascinating book reminds us that outer space is anything but remote. The scientist behind the popular website badastronomy.com, Philip Plait presents some of the most fearsome end-of-the-world calamities (for instance, incoming asteroids and planet-swallowing black holes), demystifies the scientific principles at work behind them, and gives us the odds that any of them will step out of the realm of sci-fi to disrupt our quiet corner of the cosmos. The result is a book that is both terrifying and entertaining?a tour of the violent universe we live in, written with an enthusiasm that every stargazer will appreciate.

I love astronomy and science. This book was very interesting and enlightening and it was written in a fun and easy to understand manner.

DrexEdit Sounds like a book I would like to read! It also sounds like it would give me nightmares! 😂 5y
suvata @DrexEdit The author does a really good job at the end of each chapter telling you why you shouldn‘t be worried. That‘s the only thing that kept me from having nightmares. LOL 5y
