  "Astrowhatsit?
  
  Astrophysics deals with stars and planets, with black holes and Boltzmann brains. Wait!? Boltzmann brains! What are those?!? I’m ten years old and I wrote a book about astrophysics, and although it was hard work to make it, it was a blast, too! My goal with this book is to make science intriguing for kids and to make it understandable for them, too. I poured my heart and soul into every chapter, so I hope you enjoy reading it!"
  
  In this book, Ymara - a ten year old - takes you on a journey through the marvels of the world of astrophysics. Starting with the basics, she searches to explore more and more complicated subjects and theories, in a structured attempt to make it comprehensible for herself and you alike. Not shying subjects like black holes, quasars, Schrödinger’s cat and neutron stars and exploring fascinating theories like the Fermi paradox and Boltzmann brains, she shows you how much in the universe there is to marvel about.
