Summary of Moiya McTier's The Milky Way

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Sample Book Insights:

#1 I am the greatest galaxy ever, and I have chosen to communicate with you because our lives are intertwined. I am older than time itself, and I was alive when the individual atoms that make up your dirt were created billions of light-years away.

#2 I was the galaxy that produced the most stars. I was also the one that felt the most appreciated and helpful. When humans started to look up at me, I felt loved and needed.

#3 I have been a constant presence in the world for thousands of years, but in the last hundred years, human cities have become blinding beacons of light that your distant ancestors never would have imagined. The electricity you all value so much has stolen something precious from nearly 80 percent of you: an unobstructed view of my gorgeous body.

#4 I will teach you about me and my galaxy, and how you can benefit from both space research and knowing more about the galaxy you live in. Your phones are a product of my stars dying, but the materials used to make them were created when your scientists were fascinated with me.
