Lots of cool and obtuse factual info on a day-by-day basis about our universe. Nice for conversational trivia as well as understanding some of the core concepts in the galaxy. Odenwald writes well and has some sense of humor (for an astronomer, I guess.)

Really enjoyed this book. Now all my friends on here will really know what a science-geek I am. It's from teaching science. My favorite is astronomy and quantum mechanics.
