This volume offers the account of an epic astronomical journey, a
tale told by an early 21st century human sailor among the stars.
The account is discovered, as an alien translator's note reveals,
sixty million years in Earth's future - the product of one man's
amazing, revelatory, and occasionally perilous space odyssey.
Astrophysicist Mitchell Begelman takes the reader to far-distant
shores, across a vast ocean of time, in a narrative that zips along
at just below light speed. We travel to the centre of the Milky
Way, witness the births and deaths of stars, almost perish in the
crushing forces at the perimeter of a black hole - and all the
while the author explains the way things work in the cosmos.
Grounded both in history and in astrophysical thinking and
observation, Turn Right at Orion is serious science that reads like
fiction.
