About this book

Universe explores celestial objects and phenomena, from stars and planets to black holes and nebulae, covering our solar system and beyond. The book begins with an introduction to astronomy and the history of the Universe, using 3D artworks to explain fundamental astronomical concepts and basic practical astronomy techniques. The main section tours the cosmos, including the Solar System, the Milky Way, and galaxies beyond our own. Explanatory pages introduce different celestial phenomena such as galaxies, followed by catalogs profiling notable and significant examples. A comprehensive star atlas concludes the book, featuring entries on each of the 88 constellations and a monthly sky guide displaying the night sky as it appears throughout the year from both northern and southern hemispheres.
