Wat is het verschil tussen een ster en een supernova? 
Wat is materie eigenlijk? En donkere materie? 
Waarom is een kosmisch perspectief belangrijk? 

Heb je ooit 's avonds naar de hemel gekeken en je afgevraagd: hoe werkt dit allemaal? Hoe is dit ontstaan? 

Inspirerend, helder en met humor ontraadselt de wereldberoemde astrofysicus Neil deGrasse Tyson de mysteries van het heelal: van de grote vragen over ruimte en tijd, de oerknal en zwarte gaten, tot de zwaartekracht op Mars en de wetenschap achter het verhaal van Superman. 

Als je dit boek gelezen hebt, zul je met meer kennis maar ook met nog meer verwondering naar de sterren staren.
