Our molecular guide makes its first appearance at the source of the Chemical Cosmos, at a time when only three elements and a total of 11 molecules existed. From those simple beginnings, H-three-plus guides us down river on the violent currents of exploding stars, through the streams of the Interstellar Medium, and into the delta where new stars and planets form. We are finally left on the shores of the sea of life. Along the way, we meet the key characters who have shaped our understanding of the chemistry of the universe, such as Cambridge physicist J.J. Thomson and the Chicago chemist Takeshi Oka. And we are given an insider’s view of just how astronomers, making use of telescopes and Earth-orbiting satellites, have put together our modern view of the Chemical Cosmos.

Stephen William Hawking was born on January 8, 1942 in Oxford, England.
Hawking was born into a tumultuous and war-torn climate, as Great Britain was deeply engaged in World War II at the time of his birth.
Hawking’s parents were both academics committed to pursuing life-long journeys of education.
Though during the day Frank and Isobel Hawking worked mundane jobs as a part-time teacher and a medical research secretary, both of Stephen Hawking’s parents juggled their continuing academic studies at the prestigious Oxford University in their off time.
