Drawing from recent scientific discoveries and the modern intersection of geology, biology, astrophysics, and cosmology, Origins explains the coveted leaps in understanding the universe. From the first image of the birth of a galaxy to the exploration of the Spirit Rover on Mars, as well as the discovery of water on one of Jupiter's moons, editors Neil deGrasse Tyson and Donald Goldsmith take an exciting tour of the universe with clarity and vibrancy.
