‘The scale of the cosmos is more than anyone can grasp’, writes Bill Nye, ‘but with this book, you can give it a try’. Accompanied by an introduction and informative captions, these photographs, taken from NASA observatories, the Hubble and Herschel telescopes and the International Space Station, capture some of the most extraordinary phenomena of the night sky, including lunar and solar eclipses, meteor showers and comets, as well as distant galaxies and nebulae.
