Where would you like to have a second home?
Post your answer in the LEAVE A COMMENT section below. I’m not the boss of you, though. Don’t write anything for all I care! But seriously, it should only take a second.
. . .here are my thoughts.
Where would you like to have a second home?
Anyone who knows what an autobiography is, may be confused by the title of this book that comes after the colon.
—by Moiya McTier
McTier didn’t actually interview, then ghostwrite, an autobiography of the massive galaxy we inhabit. She did write from the galaxy’s first-person point of view, though. McTier studied both astronomy and mythology at Harvard before getting her PhD in astrophysics at Columbia University. Smarty-pants! She smoothly combined her love of the cosmos and fascination with folklore into a unique perspective of the history and future of our home galaxy. Along the way she established a hero, villain, and love interest to drive the narrative. The Milky Way is the hero of its own story, of course. The Milky Way’s supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A* (pronounced “A-star”), is a villainous A**hole (see what I did there?!). And our nearest large galaxy, Andromeda—which will collide with the Milky Way in 4 billion(ish) years—will not destroy us, but instead be the long-awaited embrace of two destined lovers. Four billion years of solitude! Seems like a great place for a second home.
