DOI: 10.1063/PT.4.1372
The Planetary Society recently presented Stephen Hawking with the Cosmos Award for Outstanding Public Presentation of Science.
The Planetary Society created the Cosmos Award to honor individuals whose innovative presentations about science capture the public imagination. For over 20 years, Hawking has engaged the public in some of the most profound questions of existence. His book, A Brief History of Time, broke records as a non-fiction best seller and led to a documentary film of the same name. He continued to intrigue the public with his television series, Stephen Hawking’s Universe, and now reaches an entirely new audience with the children’s books he co-authors with his daughter Lucy.
