From Publishers Weekly
Fifth in Kenneth C. Davis's bestselling series, Don't Know Much About the Universe: Everything You Need to Know About the Cosmos but Never Learned explores questions "not usually found in science textbooks: What does astronomy have to do with astrology? Did extraterrestrials build the pyramids? Who dug those canals on Mars? ...Was Werner von Braun a war criminal?" In this chatty, eminently approachable science and history survey, Davis (Don't Know Much About the Bible) quotes poets, unscrambles Galileo's coded notes to Kepler, defines "nova" and "planetary nebula" in liberal-arts-friendly terms, discusses The X-Files and generally strives to put science-phobes at ease. Illus., including several cartoons.

From Booklist
The Don't Know series has attained commercial success by meeting people's desire to rectify their complete ignorance about a subject. Having already enlightened his audience about the Civil War, the Bible, and geography, Davis now applies his question-and-answer formula to astronomy. His questions frequently play off familiar aspects of the subject, such as, What object could have been the star of Bethlehem? A conversational response follows, with pointers to recent books on the matter at hand, and then Davis promptly moves on to the next query. He organizes his questions into five conventional groups: the history of astronomy, a description of the solar system, a description of the Milky Way and the local group of galaxies, the development of space technology, and the rudiments of big bang cosmology. The text is interspersed with astro-themed cartoons, which provide comic relief, and chronologies. By the conclusion, the neophyte on a self-teaching mission will have mastered the basics of the sun, the moon, and the stars. Gilbert Taylor
