"Dad, how big is the sky?" is one of Jana's evening questions. Underneath the starry skies she always feels as small as a cookie crumb. Luckily, her dad is an astrophysicist and meets Jana's curiosity with answers that are easy to understand yet fascinating. Together they embark on a journey through the universe each night. And Jana thinks of many more questions to ask: “How is a star born?“, “What is a black hole?“ “And what's beyond our Milky Way?“ They even send messages to the moon with a flashlight. Jana wonders if these light messages can be seen from heaven, too. Acknowledging limits, her dad admits, "We don't know everything."

Astrophysicist Heino Falcke and his wife, primary school educator Dagmar Falcke, take us on a journey through the universe into the vast expanses of space.

A chapter book to be cherished for both its intriguing information as well as its lovely goodnight stories in dialogue.
