«Bonnes nouvelles des étoiles» is the popular science book by Jean-Pierre Luminet and Élisa Brune, in paperback (334 pages, in French), from Odile Jacob.
The book links the origin of the universe with our own history: atoms formed in the Big Bang, life molecules carried by meteorites, the search for habitable exoplanets, and the final fate of stars, galaxies, and black holes. The authors respond with observations from satellite telescopes and current theoretical models.
The work belongs to Odile Jacob's «poches sciences» collection and was published in September 2011.
An introductory approach for a general audience interested in astronomy and science popularization.
