Since the beginning of human cultures, people have gazed at the stars for their beauty and also for trying to understand the Universe. Little has changed since then. We still look at the sky and marvel at its magnificent beauty while also trying to explain it. Thankfully we do have little bit better instruments nowadays than our ancestors did. And because of that, we now know that Earth is not on the back of a sea turtle.
The better the instruments have gotten, the more we have learned about the Universe, and most importantly, the more gorgeous photographs we have been taking. And oh boy, we have gotten some pretty ones.
This book is all about photographs, which are carefully handpicked to show the beauty and the complexity of our Universe. Each photo has a caption with an explanation by the scientists, so we can even see behind the beauty of the picture and be educated as well.
