Description: "Turn Right at Orion is the account of an epic astronomical journey, a tale told by an early-twenty-first century human sailor among the stars. It is discovered, as an alien "translator's note" reveals, 60 million years in earth's future - the product of one man's amazing, revelatory, and occasionally perilous space odyssey.".

"We travel to the center of the Milky Way, witness the births and deaths of stars, the creation of planets, almost perish in the crushing forces at the perimeter of a black hole - and all the while Begelman explains in clear and vibrant prose how things work the way they do in the cosmos. Turn Right at Orion is serious science that reads like fiction."--BOOK JACKET.
