We once thought of our Earth as unique, but we have now discovered thousands of alien planets, and that’s barely a fraction of the worlds that are out there. And there are more stars in the Universe than grains of sand on every planet in the Solar System. But amid all this vastness, the Milky Way Galaxy, our Sun and the Earth are home to the only known life in the Universe – at least for now.
With a foreword from Professor Brian Cox, and access to all the latest stunning NASA photography, Andrew Cohen takes readers on a voyage of discovery, via the probes and telescopes exploring the outer reaches of our galaxy, revealing how it was formed and how it will inevitably be destroyed by the enigmatic black hole at its heart. And beyond our galaxy, the expanding Universe, which holds clues to the biggest mystery of all – how did it all begin? We now know more about those first moments of existence than we ever thought possible, and hidden in this story of how it all began are the clues to the fate of the Universe itself and everything in it.

The pictures are breathtaking and i bought it primarily for the stunning visualisations. The pages are thick and glossy and the accompanying text is clear and easy to read.
The book is an absolute joy to look through, and it being hardback means it will last years.

Outstanding pictures and facts brilliantly presented by the talented prof brian cox and excellently directed andrew Cohen
POSs the best collection of books ever seen
Live long and prosper
