I'd like to suggest Blindsight by Peter Watts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindsight_(Watts_novel) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindsight_(Watts_novel)

  I just read it. What part of it is accurate astronomy and physics, specifically?
  • dozzie 11y ago
    It's rather physiology, not physics.
    • geon 11y ago
      More like psychology and philosophy.
      • dozzie 11y ago
        Also. But note several mechanisms alien creatures used on human explorers; those were totally physiological.

    The lack of FTL and time required to get anywhere in the outer reaches of the solar system, the hypothetical but plausible antimatter-beamed power, the rogue sub-dwarf planet, are lots of similar small details. (I won't say more lest I risk spoiling the plot.)
