Based on the "Ask the Astronomer" section of the author's Web site, the book answers the most popular (not necessarily the most intelligent) questions asked. Organized around topics such as the sun, the origin of the universe, and telescopes and star gazing, questions include whether an asteroid will hit the earth in the near future, what the inside of a black hole might look like, and what existed in space before the Big Bang.
