The Cosmic Mystery Tour takes us on a lightning tour of the mysteries of the universe enlivened by brief stories of the colourful characters who created modern science. It explores hot topics in physics and astronomy, including the recent discovery of gravitational waves; the quest for the origin of dark matter; the study of the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy; the ongoing search for Earth-like exoplanets; the search for signals from extraterrestrials; and the development of technologies to send spacecraft to the stars. The first part of the book explores the laws that govern the universe. Physics is a spiritual quest to find deep meaning in the cosmos. Its goal is to provide a concise, but accurate description of the world that accounts for all the amazing features that it contains. The second part takes a look at the history of the cosmos, studies its geography and explores some of its architectural highlights such as red giants, white dwarfs, neutron stars and the ultimate cosmic mysteries--supermassive black holes. The last part considers the possibility that life might exist elsewhere in the universe, and explores the cosmos from the outer fringes of science fiction to the ongoing search for alien civilizations.Binding Type: Hardcover

VERY SOFT; MY DOG’S ALREADY APPROPRIATED IT
Color: 01 Off White, Size: Twin (60" x 80")
You know a blanket’s soft when my dog immediately tries to appropriate it. This is incredibly soft, and actually pretty light; it makes for a good spring or summer blanket, or a throw in addition to something else in colder weather. (The twin is big enough that you can double it up over yourself to make it thicker in colder months.) I’m not sure while it’s called a “bubble” blanket - there is a very gentle egg crate shape to it, but it’s not rigid at all, and not dual-layer or filled with air or anything. It’s a very comfy throw (my dog can also attest to that) and for ~$20 (at the time of this review), it’s a great deal. I haven’t noticed any shedding, either, but I’m going to wash it on as gentle a cycle I can, to be safe.

I WANT MORE!!
Size: 60" X 80", Color: Sage Green
I knew I'd probably like this blanket, but I wasn't ready to immediately fall in love with it! It's fluffy, it's soft, it's warm, it's comforting (like being hugged & held), it's dark (like blackout curtain dark), the color is vibrant (I got green), and it's machine washable & dryer safe with ZERO SHEDDING! I WANT MORE!!

Loving my purchase

I am so happy with this faux fur throw! It’s unbelievably soft, cozy, and feels so luxurious. The color is gorgeous — even prettier in person — and it adds such a warm, stylish touch to my space. I love everything about it and would definitely buy it again!

This Is exactly has described. It’s so soft and it feels so silky. It does have a cool feeling to it not warm or heavy.. Love the combination of the colors remind me of babies pastels colors wish I like a lot. I pick this one because I figured this could match with any other colors. ❤️ It. 🙏
