The starry sky has always fascinated people. It started without a telescope, with constellations and celestial spheres. 400 years ago, Galileo then pointed the first telescope at the sky and discovered a world previously unknown. Giant telescopes were then used to explore galaxies – right up to Einstein's finite universe, which seems to have no bounds. Ernst Peter Fischer tells the story of the most important celestial researchers. Through their lives, we gain access to their insights, and the exciting adventure of exploring the universe, from its beginnings to today, unfolds before us.

"The science historian Ernst Peter Fischer reminds us of the true quality of scientific thought." (Die Zeit)
