Más información sobre el libro

Astronomy is a fact filled, picture-rich, accessible guide to the science's essential and exciting milestones, including new breakthroughs such as the New Horizons spacecraft's 2015 encounter with Pluto and 2019 rendezvous with a Kuiper belt object. Originally published as The Universe, this revised, updated and renamed reference book and timeline traces how, over many centuries, great minds have determined our planet's place in the great expanse of the Universe. From megalithic cultures of Stonehenge and Carnac to today's search for alien planets and dark matter.
