An expanded edition of a popular-science book written in the second person: the reader, lying on a beach looking at the sky, is guided on an imaginary journey to black holes, distant galaxies and the origin of the cosmos. Along the way they enter an atomic nucleus, go inside the Sun and travel in time, so as to grasp the universe almost by touching it.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
