Celestial knowledge to go: asteroids, atoms and aliens

Forget science fiction …real science is way more exciting!

Curious about what the universe has to do with a visit to a coffeehouse? Well, here’s the twist: the universe isn’t black—it’s actually the colour of a milky coffee.

The official name: cosmic latte!

Eva Freistetter, Jana Steuer and Elka Xharo take us on a galactic journey to the furthest corners of space and through time. They take us to planets, where iron falls from the sky like rain. We uncover the myths that feed our fantasies about astrology, and dive into the fascinating lives of the women and men that discovered the secrets of our skies.

With a mix of wit and scientific insight this book spans the entire universe from supernovas and exoplanets to planetary defense and alien life.

Approachable and fun for everyone – regardless of age, sex or home planet.

Eva Freistetter loves the cosmos and talks about it with infectious enthusiasm. When she's not recording her podcast Cosmic Latte, she combines her studies in science communication and astronomy to explore the universe in an engaging and tangible way.

Jana Steuer, a trained astronomer and science journalist, translates scientific discoveries into compelling stories for Terra X(ZDF). She loves to dive into the realities of outer space that to us down on planet Earth still seem so otherworldly.

Elka Xharo combines computer science, medical physics, and stardust into one universe. In the lecture hall she teaches bits and bytes, while on Instagram she delights as @thesciency-
feminist, where she combines science with feminism.
