    Hey everyone,

    as the title says I am looking for nonfiction audio books on astrophysics.

    I saw the other question on astrophysics books, but I have read quite a bit on the topic already and would like some suggestions that go beyond the beginner level and the books I already read.

    I've enjoyed:

    – Stephen Hawking's books

    – Carl Sagan's books (still have to read Contact, but that's fiction)

    – books by German speaking astrophysicists (Alien Earth by Lisa Kaltenegger and Harald Lesch's "Discovery of the Milky Way")

    – I also listen to a podcast on space/astrophysics called Sternengeschichten

    – I read the BBC Sky at Night magazine

    – I read a lot of Sci-Fi and have read a lot of the classics and recent favorites

    – I saw Gravity's engines by Caleb Scharf in the other thread and put it on my tbr as it seems to be a more detailed exploration of black holes than my other books provided

    I am at a point where most of the "basic" information in popular science books on the topic feels repetetive. I am looking for a book that either explains in more depth and detail or adds something new to the books I already listened to.

    I am also interested in anything on astronomy as I intend to acquire my first telescope soon (I am very excited!)

    I have a chronic illness that currently prevents me from reading books, so I am looking for audio books only.

    In case that's relevant, I have no background in physics or any other MINT fields.

    I speak German and English, so recommendations can be in both languages.

    Thank you so much for your help!
