It contains hundreds of photographs from ground-based telescopes and the Hubble Space Telescope, along with the best images from nearly four decades of robotic exploration of the planets. As well as being a beautiful and informative portrait of the cosmos, the book provides superb star maps and sound advice on practical observing, making it a highly suitable guide for those who wish to discover the richness of astronomy for themselves.
