Tom and his mom, who works the night shift at the hospital, live in a big city. Tom loves Astronaut comics and dreams of someday making an intergalactic journey. And of course, he really wants to see the stars. But it's impossible - none of them can be seen in the sky above the city, flooded with artificial light, when he goes out on the fire escape of his apartment building. But one day the young dreamer gets a chance to see the stars: despite being busy, Tom's hard-working mother finds a way to take him out of town - to organize a real camping trip for her son. And she gives him a special night, which the two of them spend together outside the usual busy routine. For one magical night on the shore of a pond, the Milky Way in all its glory belongs to just the two of them! The boy discovers a new side of his mom; together they feel at one with the universe, and after returning home, Tom cherishes those memories. The story of Tom is complemented by interesting and informative information for young astronomers and their parents about constellations, light pollution, dark sky reserves and astrotourism.
