Universe

Robin Kerrod

Discover the amazing variety of celestial objects that exist in the Universe, as well as its beginnings - and future. Fabulous full-colour photographs, many taken with the help of space telescopes, together with explanations of everything from black holes to the Milky Way, combine to make this a unique "eyewitness" account of our universe. See - the searing, volcanic surface of Venus - a supergiant and a red dwarf - the Galileo probe in action exploring Jupiter - a solar eclipse - the crater caused when a huge comet hit Siberia Learn - what happened in the Big Bang - how the Moon controls the tides of the Earth's seas - what Copernicus dared to say about our Solar System - whether we are likely to discover life on Mars Discover - why Doppler shift proves that the Universe is expanding - how advanced aliens might build a "Dyson sphere" - why a doughnut-shaped ring of stars indicates a black hole and much, much more.
