When we think of astronomy, we think of stars, distant galaxies, and black holes. However, events in the depths of the cosmos also play a fundamental role in our everyday lives. Florian Freistetter, Germany's most popular science blogger, uncovers the astronomy behind everyday things. From the water delivered by striking asteroids to our food, which consists of converted solar energy. From the television screen on which we can admire the remnants of the Big Bang to the changing of the seasons, which we owe to a gigantic planetary collision. A fascinating journey through the universe of everyday life that shows how cosmic phenomena influence our lives. "The Comet in the Cocktail Glass" has been awarded Science Book of the Year.
