SHORTLISTED FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE 2021 FINALIST
FOR THE PEN/E.O. WILSON LITERARY SCIENCE WRITING AWARD AN AMAZON
BEST BOOK OF 2020 To be an astronomer is to journey to some of the
most inaccessible parts of the globe, braving mountain passes,
sub-zero temperatures, and hostile flora and fauna. Not to mention
the stress of handling equipment worth millions. It is a life of
unique delights and absurdities ... and one that may be drawing to
a close. Since Galileo first pointed his telescope at the heavens,
astronomy has stood as a fount of human creativity and discovery,
but soon it will be the robots gazing at the sky while we are left
to sift through the data. In The Last Stargazers, Emily Levesque
reveals the hidden world of the professional astronomer. She
celebrates an era of ingenuity and curiosity, and asks us to think
twice before we cast aside our sense of wonder at the universe.
