The Milky Way by Moiya McTier
An Autobiography of Our Galaxy
Told in the first person by our home galaxy, this witty, accessible tour blends up-to-date astrophysics with mythology and cultural context to illuminate how a galaxy forms and evolves, what resides at its core, how stars are born and die, how planets and the possibility of life emerge, and what the far future holds, including a merger with a nearby giant; along the way, it nudges readers to reconsider humanity’s place in the cosmos while keeping the science clear and engaging.
