Spaced Out is designed to give a brief overview on all of the subjects that pertain to astronomy and space sciences in a down-to-Earth way.
It is inspired by current space news and the most asked questions from popular science communicator Kalpana Pot's online audience.
The subjects covered include our solar system, stars, galaxies, exoplanets, telescopes, spacetime, interstellar objects, relativity, quantum mechanics, debunking conspiracies, and the unknown.
Each page covers one specific concept that fits into the above categories. This gives the readers a general take on rather complex topics.
Readers are further encouraged to do their own deep-dive on the topics that interest them the most.
The more we learn about the Universe, the more we realize how much we don't know. Discoveries that challenge what we once thought we knew happen all the time. This book is accurate for the time of the writing, but things can always change, and that's what's most exciting about science in general!
Space is for everyone. You're never too old, too young, too uneducated, or even too busy to slow down and ponder the final frontier.
