From the Big Bang to the Gaia Mission, this is a very personal history of the universe through the author’s favourite 100 stars. Astronomer Florian Freistetter has chosen 100 stars that have almost nothing in common. Some are bright and famous, some shine so feebly you need a huge telescope. There are big stars, small stars, nearby stars and faraway stars. Some died a while ago, others have not even yet come into being. Collectively, they tell the story of the whole world, according to Freistetter.
