Samenvatting:

Engledew, an accomplished author of popular science books, describes nothing less than stellar astronomy, the structure of the solar system, the nature of time and space in terms of cosmology, the expanding universe and some possible fates of the cosmos — all in a brief, succinct and accurate way.

Scientific wonders and the spectacular nature of the universe are explored in terms of “exotic beasts” like black holes and neutron stars, with explanations geared to the general reader.
