Tourist guide of the universe (CATALÀ)

Here you will find the best destinations to climb the highest mountains or volcanoes of the Solar System, or skate on gel, or dedicate yourselves to thermal cures, or attend impressive volcanic eruptions, or bathe in an ocean of liquid methane. And you can go beyond our planetary system, and get to explore the Galaxy, the different types of stars that populate it, the most extreme extrasolar planets, to finally go out into intergalactic space and visit the most distant cosmos of the Universe.

This is not a science-fiction novel or an astronomy manual. It is a way to face this splendid discipline with the look of a curious tourist in search of new horizons, eager to be amazed by the spectacular surprises that the cosmos is capable of offering.

The book Guida turística dell'universo has been translated into 5 languages.
