{"product_id":"turn-right-at-orion-mitchell-begelman-9780738205175","title":"Turn Right at Orion","description":"This ingenious book is the account of an epic astronomical journey, a tale told by an early-twenty-first-century human sailor among the stars. The account is discovered, as an alien \"translator's note\" reveals, sixty million years in earth's future -- the product of one man's amazing, revelatory, and occasionally perilous space odyssey. Astrophysicist Mitchell Begelman takes the reader to far-distant shores, across a vast ocean of time, in a narrative that zips along at just below light speed. We travel to the center of the Milky Way, witness the births and deaths of stars, almost perish in the crushing forces at the perimeter of a black hole -- and all the while Begelman explains in clear and vibrant prose the way things work in the cosmos. A powerful imaginative work that is thoroughly grounded both in history and in the latest in astrophysical thinking and observation, \u003ci\u003e Turn Right at Orion\u003c\/i\u003e is serious science that reads like fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mitchell Begelman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738205176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738205175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 6.80w x 0.72d","brand":"Mitchell Begelman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992305860863,"sku":"9780738205175","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59177682-05a6-4b3b-903c-22f29810d04f.jpg?v=1683315260","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/turn-right-at-orion-mitchell-begelman-9780738205175","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
