Mr B's review

Every star has a story. Here, we get a history of 21 of them, looking at what each of these flickers of light in the night sky can tell us about the birth, life, and death of our universe. From red giants to supernovae, from stellar cities to our own Sun, The History of Our Universe in 21 Stars shows how what we see when we look up can help us unravel the mysteries of the cosmos.

Description

Previously published as A History of the Universe in 21 Stars.

‘A delight and triumph … A thing of beauty … Truly, truly magical’ talkRADIO

Look up on a clear evening, and you’ll see thousands of stars shining in the night sky, each telling a story of their own. With star maps to help easily identify key celestial bodies, astronomer Giles Sparrow takes 21 stars (and three imposters) to look at what each pinprick of light can tell us about the birth, life and death of our universe.

From red giants to supernovae and from stellar cities to our own Sun, The History of Our Universe in 21 Stars shows how the lights we see in the sky can help us unravel the mysteries of the cosmos.
