Deep Space
In Deep Space lie the clues to the origin of the cosmos, its evolution and ultimate destiny. Colin Ronan takes us on a voyage of discovery, describing and explaining the various galactic bodies that are met. The very latest theories are explained and analyzed. Throughout history astronomers have underestimated the size of the universe. Are our views today also too limited? Is our universe part of a system of universes that we cannot observe? Is the big gang theory, considered by many contemporary astronomers, really too simple an explanation for such a complex event? What will happen to the universe in the future, will it start to contract inwards on itself? If so, how will it happen? And the most intriguing question of all, are we alone in space or are there various life forms waiting to be discovered?The answers to these questions and many more lie in Deep Space .

2020 Pop Sugar Reading Challenge-a book on a subject you know nothing about.
This was very dry and over my head. And, I think the reason I don't know anything about space is I don't care about it. At least I don't after reading this book. I wouldn't recommend this book for someone who isn't already at least somewhat scientific.
On a semi-interesting note, a message has been sent to a solar system where scientists thought there may be life. It will take 24,000 years to reach the solar system. I can't help but wonder what the point is.
