MERLIN'S TOUR OF THE UNIVERSE, REVISED AND UPDATED FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY A Travelers Guide to Blue Moons and Black Holes, Mars, Stars, and Everything Far

Neil deGrasse Tyson hosts this newly revised edition of his McDonald Observatory StarDate column as the immortal space traveling wizard, Merlin. This audio production radiates with the astronomer's humor and passion for demystifying the universe for listeners of all ages. Tyson, as Merlin, answers readers' queries about our solar system and the cosmos beyond. A talented group of performers, including Jim Meskimen, Bronson Pinchot, Em Grosland, and Jaime Lincoln Smith, enliven the "Dear Merlin" letters, giving the inquirers personality and energy. It's easy to imagine them seated at a desk, pen in hand or fingers poised above a keyboard, as they ask their burning cosmic questions. Leonardo da Vinci and other science luminaries, characterized with accents, breeze in occasionally for chats with Merlin. J.R.T. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2025]
