Before the Earth was mapped, humans already imagined the night sky adorned with images. Images from myths featuring heroes or wild animals.
Guided by the Great Picture of the Sky, we will explore the starry dome, the formations of stars and constellations, connecting mythical stories with astrophysical data, the ancient myth with the modern scientific narrative.
With the Great Picture of the Sky as our guide, we will journey from what we see and feel towards the exploration of the boundaries of human knowledge. Universe and Time, the two great cosmological questions, also mark the end of this great wandering in the magical world of stars and galaxies.
The Great Picture of the Sky serves as both an inspiration and a challenge for contemplation, urging us to redefine our perspective on life and our world by contemplating scales that surpass our imagination.
The Great Picture of the Sky is divided into 2 parts. The first, more accessible, is an index of constellations presented in a lively and narrative style, as if the author is showing and talking to us about the stars he knows so well.
In the second part, titled Ideas for the Advanced, our existing knowledge about the Universe is presented in simple terms.
