Written by world-renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, this companion pairing answers the universe's biggest questions with wit, warmth and real science. Perfect for curious readers of any age, the set combines accessible explanations with playful illustrations, making galaxies, black holes and stellar mysteries feel wonderfully close to home. A must-have duo for any science-loving bookshelf.

About the Books
In Merlin's Tour of the Universe, Neil deGrasse Tyson's beloved extra-terrestrial guide Merlin fields a host of imaginative questions sent in by Earthlings young and old — from the nature of black holes to why the sky is blue. Every answer blends authentic, rigorous science with humour, the occasional rhyme, and charming illustrations that bring abstract cosmic concepts vividly to life. Tyson's gift for clear, engaging explanation shines throughout, making this an ideal introduction to astrophysics for newcomers and a delightful refresher for seasoned stargazers alike.

Its companion volume, Just Visiting This Planet, sees Merlin return to answer an entirely new collection of questions about our cosmic neighbourhood — the Sun and its stellar siblings, the physics of light, the laws that govern the universe, and galaxies near and far. Together, the two books form a complete, approachable guide to the cosmos, written in Tyson's signature style: playful, precise, and endlessly curious. Both titles have been revised and updated for the twenty-first century, keeping the science current.
