Topics
Concept pages that contextualise the specific stops on the journey.
Where a stop tells you about a specific object — UY Scuti, the Moon, the supermassive black hole at our galactic centre — a topic tells you about the class. What stars are. How planets form. Why black holes have an event horizon. Read a topic when you want context for several stops at once, or when you want the broader picture before zooming in to a single one.
