Are we alone in the Universe? Was there anything before the Big
Bang? Are there other universes? What makes stars shine? Where does
Earth's water come from? Why is the night sky dark? Was there ever
life on Mars? How do telescopes work? This engaging guide book
answers all these questions and hundreds more, making it a
practical reference for anyone who has ever wondered what is out in
the cosmos, where it all comes from, and how it all works. Richly
illustrated in color throughout, it gives simple yet rigorous
explanations in non-technical language, summarizing current
astronomical knowledge, without overlooking the important
underlying scientific principles. This second edition includes
substantial new material throughout, including the latest findings
from the New Horizons, Rosetta, and Dawn space missions, and images
from professional telescopes such as the Hubble Space Telescope and
the Atacama Large Millimeter Array.
