Aren't we going to die like the dinosaurs? Who sends comets to Earth and shoots down interplanetary probes? Is the Moon an alien base? Is a black hole really the reproductive organ of the Universe? These and many other, as yet unexplored, mysteries of the cosmos that the book tells about are just the tip of an iceberg floating in a vast sea of the unknown. But the one who noticed the ice mountain no longer runs the risk of stumbling upon it suddenly, as was the case with the crew of the Titanic. This means that there is hope that someday curious humanity will comprehend the great secrets of space.
