Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram – Three years ago, this week “Astrophysics for People in A Hurry” was published. The book would debut at No. 1 on the NYTimes bestseller list and spend an additional 13 weeks in that slot.
More importantly, it would be translated into 43 languages around the world and enjoy an 83-week run on the list, bobbing up & down like a cork in the tidewaters of books, especially those laced with political vitriol.
In these tribalistic and divisive times, perhaps it’s a sign that science literacy is still alive out there, offering a beacon of hope for us all — to save us from ourselves.
It has been a privilege to write for all those who know they are cosmically curious, as well as for all those who enjoy reminders that they once were.

To followers, past, present, & future, thank you for your perennial interest in my efforts to bring the universe down to earth.
Respectfully Submitted,
