This lavishly illustrated exploration of the Universe
will appeal to anyone who has looked at the night sky in awe or tried to
photograph it. The world's foremost astronomical photographer presents
the finest collection of nebulae, star clusters, galaxies and clusters
of galaxies ever assembled. Sixty of the photographs are published here
for the first time. In this visual treat, the astronomical objects are
seen in their natural colours, much as they might appear if the eye were
thousands of times more sensitive. This stunning portfolio is accompanied
by non-technical captions and a lucid text to captivate the general reader.
