From Bob King, “Astro Bob” blogger and author of “Wonders of the Night Sky You Muse See Before You Die” and “Night Sky with the Naked Eye” comes his book “Urban Legends from Space: The Biggest Myths About Space Demystified”.
For anyone interested in astrology, there are a lot of myths and while there are those that are quite obvious, unfortunately there are things that people have a hard time believing.
For one, “The Earth is Flat”. There are those who still believe the Earth is flat even in today’s modern society and current technology, there are conspiracy theorists who will argue that the planet is flat.
For me, I enjoy reading King taking on subjects such as:
– Galaxies are so far away they might not be even there anymore
– Black Holes Suck
– Matter is Either Solid, Liquid or Gas
– You Can Hear Sounds in Outer Space
– Solar Eclipses Produce Rays that Will Blind You
– The Sun will One Day Exploded as a Nova
– The Nemesis Death Star Exists and Causes Mass Extinctions
– Asteroids are the Remains of a Destroyed Planet
– Dust Storms on Mars are powerful Enough to Destroy a Manned Base
And these are just a few things which Bob King features in the book.
Overall, this is such an information and insightful, but also fascinating book. Written to be understood by everyone, not a difficult read and a book that I definitely recommend!
