Summary
You don’t have to be a scientist to appreciate the beauty of the night sky, but there is much more to the Universe1 than its good looks. For scientists, the goal is to unveil the inner workings of nature, the rules and properties that dictate how the bits and pieces of the cosmos move and interact.
