and answered them in this collection. Questions he answers include
How can you identify the constellations? Does the Earth wobble?
Could you dump nuclear waste into the Sun? What makes planets
round? Where's the nearest black hole?Are there other
universes?andCan we ever know everything?This highly
entertaining and informative introduction to our planet and the
