About This Item
London: Virgin Books. Very Good/Very Good. 1994. First Edition. Hard Cloth Cover. 4to 1852275154 Dust jacket complete, unclipped. 128 pages clean and tight. With the advances of technology and science, never before have we known so much about our universe. The Voyager and other space probes have given us exciting new insights into the planets, while satellite telescopes, such as the Hubble telescope, search for information at the very edges of the universe to discover how it all began. THE OFFICIAL LONDON PLANETARIUM BOOK OF SPACE is a fascinating journey through the realms of the "last frontier". It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the world of astronomy. There is a detailed tour of the Solar System, stopping off at the planets, their moons and rings. The Milky Way and other galaxies are explored in detail, and the mystery of distant quasars is revealed. Red giants, white dwarfs, black holes, supernovae and pulsars are also examined, as are comets, asteroids and meteors. THE OFFICIAL LONDON PLANETARIUM BOOK OF SPACE also details how our amazing universe may have come into being and what its future might hold. .
