Astronomy

This is a journey that begins close to home and ends at the very edge of what we can see. Beginning with the Solar System, comets and asteroids, it moves outward through the life and death of stars, nebulae and star clusters, pulsars and black holes, before reaching the Milky Way, other galaxies and quasars. Along the way are some of the finest astronomical photographs ever published, including Huygens-Cassini probe images of Titan. Authoritative and accessible, it's a book for anyone who wants to understand the universe at both its most familiar and most distant scales.
