Marvel at the wonders of the universe, from stars and planets to black holes and nebulae, in this exploration of our solar system and beyond. Universe opens with a look at astronomy and the history of the Universe, using 3D artworks to provide a comprehensive grounding in the fundamental concepts of astronomy, including the basic techniques of practical astronomy. The core of the book is a tour of the cosmos covering the Solar System, the Milky Way, and galaxies beyond our own. Explanatory pages introduce different celestial phenomena, such as galaxies, and are followed by catalogs that profile the most interesting and important examples. A comprehensive star atlas completes the picture, with entries on each of the 88 constellations and a monthly sky guide showing the night sky as it appears throughout the year as viewed from both the northern and southern hemispheres. Review: Good overall - Very informative book and good illustrations. Has information on almost everything you could think of. I think it was organized well within the chapters. Review: My favorite reference book on the universe - Beautiful and informative both. The organization of the book is outstanding. The text is in bite-sized boxes. Easy to understand. Quality book.

Great illustrations and everything you wanted to know
Outstanding book! Well illustrated and covers just about everything you wanted to know about space, from our sun and solar system to deep space objects. The Star charts at the end are handy for star gazers and astrophotographers.

Perfect condition! Worth the money and the truth….
Very happy. Got my book in 1 day. Brand new. No dents, no scratches. Perfect condition. I recommend this book hugely! I was looking for a good informative book and I definitely found it. I recommend the DK version. This book has clear photos and easy illustrations throughout. It’s a big heavy book and I recommend you to buy it if your into astronomy. I have to thank Amazon for getting this book here in one day, I was surprised. Thanks again Amazon. I’m seeing a few reviews mentioning hard damage, please don’t be deterred from those comments. Accidents happen, so please go buy one now. The only book you will need when it comes to our universe.

Damaged
Packaging with not good and it came dented so I sent it back. Condition was important to me because I was buying as decor for bookshelf. I like the topic and it would have been a nice looking addition if it was in better condition.

A perfect starter for anyone interested in Astrophysics
Arrived on time and in perfect condition. This book looks great and covers a lot. It is not too simplistic which is good, and a great starting point for anyone interested in astrophysics. Pictures are great. Not really interested in the astronomy section myself as I live in an area that has severe light pollution But for any budding astronomer the charts are ideal. Definitely worth buying.

Libro enorme, gran formato
La compra fue de un libro con defecto proveniente de Alemania, creo. Tenía el lomo un poco dañado como indicaba en la descripción. Contento por la compra. Ojalá existiera en versión en castellano esta edición de 2020. Debe pesar dos o tres kilos. Actualizado a los últimos años.
