Philip Plait, PhD, is an astronomer, sci-fi dork, TV documentary talking head, and all-around science enthusiast. The author of Bad Astronomy and Death from the Skies!, he writes the Bad Astronomy newsletter and lives in Colorado.
Phil Plait takes us to nearby worlds and star systems far, far away, where we do plenty of exploration, a bit of astronomical science, and a lot of marveling. But it's the descriptions of your spaceships and suits that will keep you strapped in and reading on. His flights of science fiction fantasy are scientific-and absolutely spectacular. Enjoy the rides. -- Bill Nye, CEO, The Planetary Society A rollicking, wondrous, and awe-inspiring introduction to the universe. Phil Plait's writing transports us to other worlds and in the process helps us to appreciate our own world. -- John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars and The Anthropocene Reviewed
