Some real gems in here. The very idea is something absolutely suited to Calvino: A bystander to the entirety of the universe. Cosmic and microscopic. Some stories were incomprehensible (to me), some were wonderful. He seems to have a real fascination with the moon, which is cool. Always a love interest driving these cosmic happenings--it's very neat how he takes a massive event and condenses it into an interpersonal tale. Fun, contemplative, inventive and unique.
