What if the mysteries of life can be found in the gutter? That question drives an unusual man on a journey to explore our connection to the stars.
For decades, astronomers around the world have searched for stardust in space and the remotest places on earth. Finding stardust amongst us in habited areas is perceived as impossible. But hobby scientist Jon Larsen has not lost heart.
Armed with a broom and a magnet, he searches for microscopic extraterrestrial particles on roofs and in gutters. With minimal resources, he cleans his samples under the kitchen sink using a sieve. Jon claims to have found real stardust. The claim is met with ridicule and rejection from the established scientific community. But what if he is right?
‘We Are Stardust’ is an enchanting tale of the little man’s struggle against the scientific elite. With unshakeable faith in his own abilities, self-irony and irresistible charm, Jon Larsen gets closer and closer to solving the mystery, until the unthinkable suddenly happens.
