Relieve the excitement the gripped the world of science when water was discovered on one of Jupiter’s many moons which reinforces the chances that there are extra terrestrial life somewhere in the universe.

Reactions:

 
“Best science book I’ve ever read. One thing Tyson does that I found others don’t, he explains how we know the things we know, and rather thoroughly. That is the stuff I love and long for when reading science, but is too often lacking from other books. I will be listening to this audiobook again very soon.” – Rob D

“For the general reader “Origins” presents an introduction to much mind-opening material including the mysterious `dark matter’, isotropism, discussions about the curvature of space-time and the inflationary model of the universe that has the potential to stimulate further study or simply be enjoyed for itself.” – J. Dretler

Overall you need to be comfortable with the book being somewhat dated and even tedious for the enthusiast, but it should an excellent read for anyone just dipping their toes into the subject matter. It is really rather accessible.” – B. White
