The Magic of Stars and the End of the Night

The Magic of Stars and the End of the Night
The first literary work by Dietmar Hager is both a factual book and an entertaining read. Skillfully, he bridges the gap between the inspiring myths of our ancestors and the insights of modern science. At the heart of the narrative are the stars, which are increasingly vanishing from our sight due to light pollution.

The book is a passionate plea to reconnect with nature, to approach it with openness and receptivity, and to preserve our connection with the cosmos.

Self-published, it was printed on high-quality paper in Upper Austria and features an exclusive cover with gold embossing. Seven exceptional astrophotographs can be found at the center of the book. Perfect as a gift, this work also holds a cosmic surprise, designed to illustrate the concept of space and matter.

Excerpts from The Magic of Stars and the End of the Night:

„The stars have always guided us humans,“ the old man said quietly, „not only on our journeys through the desert but also on our path through life. They have shone since the beginning of time and tell us stories, if only we are attentive enough to hear them.“

„This artificial light that illuminates our cities and streets displaces the natural magic of the night. It’s not just the stars we are losing – it’s the connection to nature that has served as our guiding star for generations.“
