In My Favorite Universe, the astrophysicist who directs the nation's most famous planetarium takes you on a spirited and intellectually engaging journey through the cosmos and all its history, from before the Big Bang to the most likely ways in which Earth, and perhaps the entire universe, might end.

The Stark and Violent Beauty of the Universe
With this basic foundation in place, explanations of cosmic events fall logically into place, and the realities of the universe-including its eventual demise-are revealed in stark and often violent beauty. You learn:

how Saturn's rings were formed, and why they will eventually be lost
why low-density conditions are necessary to produce the drama of the northern and southern auroras
why even the most jagged and wild of the Earth's mountain ranges are, from a cosmic standpoint, really part of a perfectly smooth sphere
how black holes are formed and the extraordinary way in which they can wreak havoc in the universe
how asteroids moving through space represent threats of extraordinary consequence to Earth, no matter how long those threats may take to be realized
why the seemingly infinite panorama of celestial bodies revealed by the Hubble Space Telescope's famous "Deep Field" so intrigued astronomers
how astronomers actually look for new planets,
why the odds seem overwhelmingly in favor of some kind of life out there, whether we ever make contact or not.
Most important, none of these ideas are presented as isolated "space factoids" that serve no purpose but to entertain. They are there to illustrate and reinforce the key principles of physics and astrophysics that are continually being presented in this course.
