If you liked the article, note that the author has the whole book:

“Beyond The Galaxy: How Humanity Looked Beyond Our Milky Way And Discovered The Entire Universe”

Alternatively, buy the author's book:

Or search with the title, the author republishes his articles later.

I would rather recommend

https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Galaxy-Humanity-Discovered-Uni...

This is the right context for Newton, Einstein and quantum physics, it's written by an astrophysicist and is up to date, with beautiful illustrations and easy to read.
