The slightly different guide through the celestial year

Moon phases, constellations, or planetary meetings – the celestial year has a lot in store for us. However, the most spectacular celestial phenomena are those we cannot see. For example, the approximately 40 billion potentially habitable exoplanets in our Milky Way or the mysterious dark matter that seems to make up most of our universe. Astronomer Ruth Grützbauch, a member of the Science Busters, has written a completely different guide to the celestial year. Month by month, she allows us to see the cosmos with new eyes, such as those of the James Webb Space Telescope or the few people who have seen the far side of the moon. She takes an X-ray look at the spectrum of invisible light, at images from neutrinos, and at stars that may no longer exist. Educational, entertaining, and eye-opening.
