Space Facts to Fall Asleep To

You get into bed tired, but your mind keeps scrolling. You want something to listen to that is interesting enough to hold your attention and quiet enough to let it go.

Press play and a single unhurried voice walks you outward from the Moon. You hear real, well-established space facts about the planets, the Sun and its neighbouring stars, the Milky Way and the faint galaxies at the edge of what we can see, told in plain language with no sudden turns and no wall of numbers. Each chapter is a complete stretch of sky, so when you wake with your earbuds still in you simply pick up where you drifted off, and the three hours of bedtime astronomy stay fresh night after night.

You fall asleep feeling connected to something vast and steady rather than lost in it. Put this on tonight, close your eyes, and let the universe talk you down.
