A big, beautiful beginner's guide to the cosmos - planets, stars,
galaxies, and beyond - through the Star Trek lens. For the science
enthusiasts among Star Trek fans and the parents looking for gift
books that offer education with entertainment. As Star Trek
celebrates its 50th anniversary, this book reveals the real science
behind its fantastic and beloved fictions, inviting readers to step
outside, gaze up at the night sky, and observe some of the
destinations the Starfleet has visited. Many of the galactic
destinations featured in Star Trek over the years - multiple star
systems, alien worlds, supernova explosions, emission nebulae,
voracious black holes - are scientifically valid, so much so that
one can step out and view them in the night sky. In this book
astronomy educator Andrew Fazekas, "The Night Sky Guy," takes you
on that journey, starting with specific Star Trek voyages,
explaining the science behind them, and guiding you in observing
and learning more about the real-universe corollaries of planets
and places in the Star Trek universe.
