AmScope Visual Galaxy: The Ultimate Guide to the Milky Way and Beyond by National Geographic
Revealing a new and provocative vision of the universe, this dazzlingly beautiful book explores the far reaches of the cosmos and our won solar system in never-before-seen detail.
Spectacular photographs and illustrations are paired with interpretive graphics in a mind-expanding visual tour of the cosmos. The voyage takes us from the core of our sun to the surrounding solar system before moving outward into space where stars are born, black holes lurk, and supernovae flare.
You will also experience the thrilling search for life beyond Earth. Planets outside our solar system, known as exoplanets, are one of the hottest areas of discovery today. Since the first exoplanet was confirmed in 2012, more than 4,000 have been identified. Might one of these planets in the vast galactic network, spanning billions of light-years, have the right conditions to foster life? It is entirely possible and endlessly intriguing.
