Summary:

"A flash, a single streak of light, is what sparked David Levy's passion for astronomy more than sixty years ago. In this delightful collection of essays, Levy shares not only his love for the sky and stars, but also his love for language and literature. With the voice of a poet and the eye of a skilled, albeit amateur, astronomer, Levy takes us on a glorious adventure as large as the universe"-- Provided by publisher.
