“Tyler Nordgren's Sun Moon Earth shows the excitement of observing a total solar eclipse better than any other source I have seen. In addition to enveloping readers in his very readable descriptions, he explains a wide range of fascinating science in a way accessible to all. I highly recommend this book to all 300 million Americans who will be under the moon's shadow on August 21, 2017—and hope that it can make tens of millions of them join the original ten million in the path of totality.”
—Jay Pasachoff, Williams College, Chair of the International Astronomical Union's Working Group on Eclipses
