About this listen

Neil deGrasse Tyson's number-one New York Times best-selling guide to the cosmos, adapted for young listeners.

From the basics of physics to big questions about the nature of space and time, celebrated astrophysicist and science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson breaks down the mysteries of the cosmos into bite-sized pieces. Astrophysics for Young People in a Hurry describes the fundamental rules and unknowns of our universe clearly - and with Tyson's characteristic wit, there's a lot of fun thrown in, too.

This adaptation by Gregory Mone includes extra explanations to make even the trickiest concepts accessible. Building on the wonder inspired by outer space, Astrophysics for Young People in a Hurry introduces an exciting field and the principles of scientific inquiry to young listeners.

This book make me look into the stars in a different way, knowing all the stuff i know now i fee like i can be an astrophysicist, the book tells an awesome story about how the universe evolved and how it arranged itself just right to make us. The book was easy to listen to and didn’t feel like a chore.

A really amazing explanation of our universe. Understandable and not over complicated but not patronising which is quite rare in books aimed at younger people. Definitely recommend!
