Anton Pannekoek. Filosoof, socialist, wetenschapspopularisator, sterrenkundige. Een man die er alles voor overhad om de sterrenhemel in kaart te brengen en die aan de wieg stond van de moderne astronomie. Nog nooit is onze blik op het universum zo gegroeid als de afgelopen 100 jaar. 100 jaar geleden hadden we nog geen idee van de grootte van ons universum, van wat de zon nou precies is, en van zwarte gaten had niemand nog gehoord. In deze podcast gaan we op zoek naar het verhaal van Pannekoek en ontdekken we de kosmos door zijn ogen.
