A View of the Universe


    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.
