I have written a book called Space Safari: A Journey Through Our Cosmic Neighborhood.

A Guided Journey Through Our Cosmic Neighborhood

Most books about space focus on one scale at a time. Some explore the Solar System in detail, others dive into stars and galaxies, and still others jump straight to cosmology and the Big Bang. What is often missing is a sense of continuity — a feeling of moving outward step by step, understanding how each region of space connects to the next.

Space Safari: A Journey Through Our Cosmic Neighborhood was written to fill that gap.

This book is structured as a guided journey that begins close to home, with the Sun and Earth, and gradually expands outward. Along the way, it explores the Moon, the planets, asteroids and comets, the edge of the Solar System, nearby stars, interstellar space, and the larger structure of the Milky Way. The final chapters place our local environment into an even broader context, tracing how galaxies, cosmic structures, and time itself fit into a continuous story.

Rather than presenting space as a collection of isolated facts, Space Safari focuses on relationships. How does the Sun shape the Solar System? How do nearby stars influence the environment we move through? What role do interstellar clouds and stellar explosions play in shaping our galactic neighborhood? By following a clear outward path, the book helps readers build a sense of orientation — knowing not just what exists, but where we are in relation to it.

The book is written for curious readers, students, educators, and amateur astronomers who want accurate science without unnecessary abstraction. No advanced background in physics or astronomy is required. Concepts are introduced where they naturally belong in the journey, allowing understanding to grow gradually rather than all at once.

To complement the book, there is a companion website that expands each chapter with images, videos, and carefully selected resources. This allows readers to explore further at their own pace, without interrupting the flow of the narrative itself.

You can read two chapters for free on the companion site to get a sense of the style, structure, and approach:

The website also contains clear links explaining how to purchase the Kindle edition from Amazon in different regions.

If you enjoy science writing that emphasizes perspective, connection, and scale — and if you have ever wanted a clearer sense of how the familiar world around Earth fits into the vast structure of the universe — Space Safari is an invitation to explore that journey, one step at a time.
