Majestic Universe Views from Here to Infinity Hardcover Book

About the Item

Majestic Universe Views from Here to Infinity Hardcover Book by Serge Brunier.Only a book this big could convey the majesty of the ever-expanding universe and provide a glimpse into the ultimate limits of space. Originally published in French in 1997 and updated to include recent developments, this volume takes readers on a unique, scenic exploration of the universe. More than 200 incredible, full-color photographs gathered from the Hubble Space Telescope and the largest telescopes in the world capture the magic and wonder found in the vast expanse of the universe. In a beautiful, large format, containing many full-page color spreads, Majestic Universe allows readers to witness the birth of stars; scan the sky for extrasolar planets; venture near black holes; travel into the realm of galaxies and clusters of galaxies; gauge the vastness of space with Hipparcos; and finally wonder about the history and future of our mysterious universe. Clear, enthusiastic captions accompany each image, providing details on the great theories of the structure of the cosmos; descriptions of the latest advances in cosmology; and a trip into the past in search of the origins of the universe, of space, and of time. Majestic Universe is the ultimate "vehicle" for armchair space buffs to explore the final frontier. Serge Brunier is chief editor of the journal Ciel et Espace, a photojournalist, and the author of many nonfiction books aimed at both specialists and the general public. * Publisher ‏ : ‎ Cambridge University Press; 1st edition (October 28, 1999) * Language ‏ : ‎ English * Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 216 pages * Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 4.45 pounds * Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 10 x 1.25 x 14.5 inches
