Thank you to Edelweiss and Simon & Schuster for this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. 

Astronomical by Tim James is a nonfiction book of astronomy, the science of stars. The book talks about many topics related to, evidently, stars (life and death), black holes, solar systems and what kind of solar systems we can find in space, galaxies (it talks of course about our own galaxy: the Milky Way), etc. It talks about many things related to the science of the cosmos. I have found it a very good reading for me, as I am a lover of this science and I do enjoy reading and learning more about it.

It is written in a funny, but scientific and formal way that makes it so easy to read it. It makes funny references to Pirates of the Caribbean movies, from which I myself am a huge fan of. One of these references are when he is talking about black dwarfs and how our star, our sun, will freeze forever, leaving a black pearl behind: the black dwarf. This topic is so captivating for me, and I adore the way the information reveals itself through the hands of the author. Because that's pretty important and no one seems to care about that, about how our entire existence (I mean: human beings, and our very planet). In general, I think that astronomy should be a must-subject on every school, at least the basics of it. In school, teachers don't pay enough attention to this topic and it is usually discarded as an "extra" or something like that, or even don't make an exam of it. But I guess this is a discussion from another post!

I genuinely enjoyed the part in which the author unravels Galileo Galilei's story and how it did not matter that he had evidence because "the Bible was infallibe and had to be interpreted literally". Well, at that time, the Inquisition already existed. They censured him and all works that had any mention of Copernicanism. 

It is an absorbing, fascinating book that untangles some astronomical important topics. 

I do highly recommend it! 

This book will come out tomorrow, so stay tuned to read it! It's a must-read if you love astronomy, science,...! I am sure you'll enjoy this work. 

Until the next post! ♡
