Book Description
Mary Gribbin. From Here to Infi nity sets the gold standard for all other astronomy books, not only in the clarity of its prose but also in its richly illustrated presentation. This exciting new book provides an unparalleled understanding of all aspects of astronomy and offers a new appreciation of our place in the cosmos.
From straightforward facts such as `How far away are stars?' and `What did Galileo see through his telescope?', to broader questions such as `Is there an edge to the universe?' and `Is the universe really expanding?', this book will appeal to all levels of interest. Concepts are supported with diagrams and impressive colour photography.
This is a highly authoritative and fascinating guide to one of the most exciting areas of scientifi c research, and is supported by the global reputation of the historic home of
astronomy - the Royal Observatory at Greenwich.
