AirSpace Book Club: Milky Way

AirSpacers are watchers of movies, but we are also readers of books. In our inaugural Book Club we're reading The Milky Way: An Autobiography of Our Galaxy by Dr. Moiya McTier. This book is a non-fiction romp through the Milky Way's life (and future death) told from its perspective. How does the Milky Way feel about consuming other galaxies? Does watching us humans get boring? Can a galaxy be self-conscious about its black hole? Dr. Moiya explores these questions and more with personality, or should we say galaxality? Read along with the AirSpace book club. Thanks to our Guest in this episode: Dr. Moiya McTier, Author Find the transcript at s.si.edu/airspaces10e12 AirSpace is created by the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum with generous support from Lockheed Martin.
