What book are you reading right now?

[cheerfulgreek]

I'm reading Parallel Worlds by Michio Kaku. I read his other book Physics of the Impossible and loved it. I love astronomy. I actually like it more than I do animals/wild life.

And all this time, I thought galaxy M-87 looked like a massive ball of stars with a strange tail emerging from it. It's just that since it emitted large quantities of radiation, at one point I though that weird "tail" thingy represented a stream of antimatter. But, according to Kaku (my other husband ) it's actually energized by a huge black hole weighing perhaps 3-billion solar masses. And that strange "tail" is now believed to be a very large jet of plasma which is streaming out of, not into, the galaxy.
