Stephen Hawking might be a bit advanced but his works are very good. Carl Sagan’s books. Look up science documentaries on Netflix. Cosmos, either the Sagan or Tyson one. Neil DeGrasse Tyson has good books. Isaac Asimov tbh too

So what do you think about NDT's Cosmos alone, and in comparison to Carl Sagan's original one?
I disliked parts of the remake for various reasons, and I grew up with Carl Sagan’s original, so of course I like it more, nostalgia factor and all.
When I was little, there were two people I looked up to and aspired to be. Carl Sagan and Princess Leia. Sagan because he was a scientist, and he made science fun! I wanted to do that! I wanted to make learning about space fun like he did! And then Princess Leia. I wanted to be her because she was beautiful, smart, a princess, and a professional ass kicker. She was a rebel. Standing up for what was right knowing it could get her killed. I wanted to be like that. I wanted to be that brave.
Never in a million years would I have thought that I would have to be both. To be a scientist and have to defend the truth. To have to stand up for facts. No, my life isn’t so much in danger. It’s worse. Our entire planet is in danger and to be a scientist, to educate on global warming, is to be a rebel. A cry in the night to not let our only home slip through our fingers. To fight for those who have no voice with which to speak. To fight for a future.
To be a scientist is to rebel.

And rebelling is exactly what it felt like I was doing. Standing in the freezing rain on a dreary Saturday afternoon, the Washington Monument looming over us. Music and calls to action from the stage flowed through the crowd. And when the march started, the foggy outline of the Capitol Building barely visible in the distance as we marched towards it. 60,000 people flooded onto Constitution Avenue. It was beautiful.
Astronauts just found life in space, we kid you not
Russian cosmonauts have discovered something remarkable clinging to the outside of the International Space Station: living organisms.

I haven’t posted pictures of my babies in a while. From top to bottom: Tycho Brahe the fat princess hamster, Johannes Kepler and Edwin Hubble in their carrier cage because they had a vet visit today (they’re fine!), then Carl Sagan and Nicholas Copernicus, and then Copernicus posing for his closeup
My new baby to keep Carl Sagan company. They’re already getting along great and having a blast playing together ❤️ Niels Bohr was born and raised in a pet shop, and is about 2 months old (Sagan is 10) and is a pet rat, where Sagan was a feeder. Surprisingly, Bohr doesn’t like yogis so much, but he loves sunflower seeds. His coat is absolutely gorgeous and he’s such a soft boy
