From the big bang to black holes, from dark matter to dark energy, from the origins of the universe to its ultimate destiny, The Edge of the Sky tells the story of the most important discoveries and mysteries in modern cosmology—with a twist. The book’s lexicon is limited to the thousand most common words in the English language, excluding physics, energy, galaxy, or even universe. Through the eyes of a fictional scientist (Student-People) hunting for dark matter with one of the biggest telescopes (Big-Seers) on Earth (Home-World), cosmologist Roberto Trotta explores the most important ideas about our universe (All-there-is) in language simple enough for anyone to understand. A unique blend of literary experimentation and science popularization, this delightful book is a perfect gift for any aspiring astronomer. The Edge of the Sky tells the story of the universe on a human scale, and the result is out of this world.

this book was written for my grandchildren to help explain about when family members die and to answer some questions that children ask. It was written based on personal experience and i hope this book will assist in dealing with sadness and confusion around this area. This is a book for children but it is also for adults/families who have lost a child. It aims to give comfort and answer some question that children in particular may have surrounding this area. It takes us on a "Journey" to "The edge of the sky" with three main characters who are Golden eagles and their Eaglet chick Lily. Meet the unicorn, the spider family and Lily's nanny. An Inspiring, thoughtful, magical, thought provoking book.
