"This book is not only an excellent introduction to the Sun, black holes, and dark matter, but also a very good book about the scientific process." - Choice "A fluid, crystalline presentation of how scientists think.... The Garfinkles systematically instill how confident lay readers can be in what they read in the popular-science format." - Booklist "Aside from revealing the science behind the sun, black holes and dark matter, the Garfinkles demonstrate how science develops, encouraging readers always to ask, 'How do they know that?' as a way of understanding science.... The Garfinkles aren't afraid to get technical, but this smart, rewarding read is helped by a welcome voice, a feel for narrative, and a useful glossary." - Publishers Weekly"
