Summary
Brian Clegg's acclaimed popular science book Inflight Science explored the science experienced on a plane flight. Interstellar Tours takes that concept and goes large. It takes the listener on a tour of our galaxy on the starship Endurance.
That vessel itself is science fiction. But the phenomena you will visit, from the vast nebulae that are birthplaces of stars to stellar explosions in vast supernovas, creating the elements necessary for life—or from the planets of other solar systems to the unbelievably supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way—all reflect the best picture that current science has to offer.
It may never be possible to undertake a voyage through the stars for real. But in listening to Interstellar Tours, you can enjoy the ultimate cruise across the Milky Way galaxy.
