Astrophysicists know a lot: that the universe is made up of 26 percent dark matter and that the black hole at the center of the galaxy M87 weighs as much as 6.6 billion suns. But how do they actually come by this knowledge? Could the universe really look completely different? Philosopher and astrophysicist Sibylle Anderl captivatingly tells the story of the work of astronomers, who deduce from the smallest clues, such as the light spectrum or the movement of stars, what planets are made of and how massive black holes are. Her book is a love letter to the exploration of space and a fascinating philosophical journey to the limits of our knowledge.
