Neil DeGrasse Tyson, the Director of the Hayden Planetarium in NYC, has authored a new book called:
"Astrophysics for People in a Hurry"
The first edition is set for release on May 16, 2017.
Neil has been making the late night TV circuit promoting the book as a guide for everyman to explain the common terms prevelant in the news. Dark matter, big bang, black holes, exoplanets... they are all in here, waiting for you to discover.
It's difficult not to make comparisons to Brian Greene's hit book "The Elegant Universe" in which Quantum Physics is dumbed down so that even a person of average intelligence can grasp the wider concepts.
Worked well for Brian, hopefully Neil will have similar success.
