Our true origins are not just human, or even terrestrial, but in fact cosmic. Drawing on recent scientific breakthroughs and the current cross-pollination among geology, biology, astrophysics, and cosmology, Origins explains the soul-stirring leaps in our understanding of the cosmos. From the first image of a galaxy birth to Spirit Rover's exploration of Mars, to the discovery of water on one of Jupiter's moons, coauthors Neil deGrasse Tyson and Donald Goldsmith conduct a galvanizing tour of the cosmos with clarity and exuberance.
Born in Manhattan, New York, he earned his doctorate in astrophysics in 1991 from Columbia University. He is best known in the popular media as the host of "Origins" a mini series on PBS and "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" on FOX television network and the National Geographic channel on cable TV.
