Foreword -- Preface -- ToC -- Introduction -- The Universe Born of Sound -- Everything Is Number. Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans -- The Music of the Spheres in Kepler's Cosmos -- Musicians and Scientists -- From Newton to Einstein -- The Music of the Cosmos -- The Universe Is Teeming with Music -- Songs of the Space Race -- Space, the Music of the Spheres, and Movies -- Close Encounters of the Third Kind -- Conclusion -- Appendix -- Index of names.

This book explores the profound and ancient relationship between music and astronomy. Throughout history, Music has occupied a significant place among the disciplines of the Quadrivium, which also include Geometry, Arithmetic, and Astronomy. The captivating bond between these two realms has not only inspired eminent scientists like Kepler, Newton, and Einstein, but has also captured the imagination of NASA and astronauts in modern times. The author delves into various aspects of the intersection between music and astronomy, encompassing everything from ancient cosmological beliefs to groundbreaking discoveries such as the cosmic background radiation and gravitational waves. This enthralling theme has not only stimulated renowned artists like David Bowie and Elton John, but has also served as a muse for movies like Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Within the book, readers will find an extensive photo gallery and a specially curated soundtrack that enhances the reading experience. It caters to a broad audience, appealing to those with a general interest in both music and astronomy, as well as to specialized individuals in either field of study.
