Space Cosmology

Space is the easiest place to lose your sense of scale, which is exactly why it makes such good listening at the end of the day. These episodes move slowly through the things that are too large to picture all at once: the collapse of a star, the slow drift of galaxies, the strange arithmetic of a black hole's edge. Nothing here demands that you follow every step. The ideas are built to be entered anywhere, and if you fall asleep somewhere between the solar system and the edge of the observable universe, the episode has done its job.
