Thanks so much to Stan Honda of the Amateur Astronomers Association in New York for shooting these images of my talk at the American Museum of Natural History last week. I had a wonderful time and spoke at great length about subjects from my upcoming book, The New Cosmos, due out in November.
I also received a lovely quotation from Alan Stern, who was gracious enough to read the book manuscript. Alan is, of course, the well-known principal investigator of the New Horizons Pluto mission we all have enjoyed so much this year.
Here is Alan’s reaction:
“The New Cosmos by David Eicher is a wonderful read! This wonderfully written, accessible, authoritative new book spans the breadth of major topics in early twenty-first century astronomy, engaging the reader in every chapter. I haven’t seen a better book surveying modern astronomy in a decade. I highly recommend this masterpiece as a gift to yourself or anyone interested in space and astronomy!”
Information about the book can be found on Amazon and on Cambridge University Press’ site.
