I have no knowledge in astronomy, nothing at all. This book was such an amazing introduction to many notions essentials to understand our universe.
If like me you don't know anything about it (and sucked in physics at school) but are passionate by the subject, this is for you !
Super accessible (sometimes the examples and comparaisons are so easy that the theorie are more understandable).
