La notte stellata non è solo uno spettacolo affascinante, ma lo spazio sterminato nel quale sono scritte migliaia di scoperte scientifiche e di antiche storie. I nostri antenati hanno trovato nel cielo le conoscenze più utili alla sopravvivenza: hanno imparato a orientarsi in mare o nei deserti, a costruire orologi e calendari, a sfruttare i cicli stagionali per i lavori dei campi. Incantati dai movimenti degli astri e dei pianeti, intimoriti dalle eclissi o dalle comete, hanno anche popolato il firmamento di dèi ed eroi che ne spiegassero il mistero.

Come spiegare l'astronomia in termini chiari ed esaurienti? Questo libro, insieme rigoroso e divulgativo, è con disegni, foto e brevi testi di approfondimento un "abbicì" dell'astronomia che aiuta a familiarizzare con stelle, pianeti, eclissi, galassie e il mondo extragalattico.

Fin dagli esordi dell'umanità la volta stellata è sempre stata la culla di dèi e cosmogonie, racconti per esorcizzare il mistero della vita e della morte. Nel contempo, in ogni civiltà, alla visione religiosa del mondo si sono contrapposte menti curiose che hanno cercato spiegazioni razionali dei fenomeni naturali e celesti.

Montiamo in sella con Margherita Hack per ripercorrere con un’ironia garbata tutta toscana la sua vita al ritmo di dolci o sfrenate pedalate. La celebre astrofisica ci racconta come è passata dal triciclo alla bici da corsa. In mezzo ci sono le salite fiorentine, l’università, il secondo conflitto mondiale e il rifiuto di aderire al fascismo, l’amore per Aldo che, prima di diventare suo marito, fu grande amico d’infanzia e di giochi al Bobolino, la passione per il ciclismo e l’atletica, la carriera, l’affetto per gli animali, i viaggi all’estero, Trieste e le gite a due ruote a respirare libera nella natura.

Margherita Hack, "un bestione tutto senso e stupore", come l'ha scherzosamente definita un collega, ha attraversato il Novecento con lo sguardo rivolto verso un ignoto da indagare continuamente, ma "con i piedi ben saldi per terra", mettendo la propria intelligenza e sensibilità al servizio di tutti sin dai suoi primi passi da ricercatrice.
