Neil deGrasse Tyson's Accessory to War draws renewed attention

Accessory to War, the 2018 book by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson co-written with Avis Lang, is being discussed again. The book examines the long entanglement between astronomy and warfare, tracing how skywatching and military power have supported each other from ancient times to modern space programs. Readers are highlighting its argument that scientific curiosity and strategic ambition have always been closely linked.

Why now: Renewed interest in the book's argument about the ties between astronomy and warfare, likely against a backdrop of current conflict and space militarization debates.
