How the discoveries of observatories have unlocked the secrets of the Universe, from Stonehenge to Hubble.

This detailed examination of our steps into space is viewed from our potential future there - on Mars to be exact - and considers how we will reach that point.

From the Big Bang and nebulae to the Milky Way and Sir Isaac Newton, this celestial primer is packed with hundreds of entertaining astronomy facts, charts, and photographs you won't be able to get anywhere else.

This spectacularly illustrated book is a comprehensive and accessible exploration of astronomy through the eyes of the world's observatories and spacecraft missions. An essential guide to understanding and appreciating the Universe, Visions of the Cosmos builds on the success of the authors' previous best-selling book, Hubble Vision.
