The Zoomable Universe: An Epic Tour Through Cosmic Scale, from Almost Everything to Nearly Nothing

The Zoomable Universe is a full-color visual journey through all scales of reality. Award-winning astrobiologist Caleb Scharf and acclaimed artist Ron Miller take readers on a tour from the largest observable scales—spanning 10^27 meters, or about 93 billion light-years—down to the subatomic realm at 10^-35 meters, where the laws of physics break down. The book explores galaxies, stars, planets, oceans, continents, plants, animals, microorganisms, atoms, and more. Stops along the way include the core of the Milky Way, the surface of a rogue planet, the back of an elephant, and subatomic quarks. Scharf's prose and original insights accompany more than 100 original illustrations and infographics designed to engage readers of all ages. The book charts a path from the farthest reaches of the cosmos to its subatomic depths, combining cutting-edge science with visual storytelling.
