    6000 jaar aan ontdekkingen over het heelal gebundeld in één boek Met een voorwoord van André Kuipers Al duizenden jaren proberen mensen van over de hele wereld het heelal te begrijpen. Hun namen waren Thales, Ptolemaeus, Al-Khwarizmi, Kepler, Galilei, Newton, Shoujing, Einstein, Herschel en Hubble.
