Spectacular nebulae where stars are born, beautiful star clusters
from the early formation of the Milky Way, and galaxies as far as a
billion light years away, all feature in this book of stunning
images from astro photographer Chris Baker. The author takes the
reader on a journey through time and space to the Deep Sky, far
beyond our Solar System. It is a pictorial description of the
awe-inspiring wondrous objects that exist “out there”. The
images are of objects from hundreds to many millions of light years
away; distances of such enormity are hard for our minds to grasp.
The book presents fascinating information on what the Earth was
like when the light started its earth-bound journey through space.
For example, as the light left the Andromeda Galaxy 2.5 million
years ago on its interstellar journey to Chris’s telescope, the
Himalayas are still being raised. Chapters are included describing
the basics of astrophotography, as modern telescopes and cameras
make this a rewarding hobby well within reach of the amateur
astronomer. Chris describes his observatory in the mountains of
Spain along with practical guidance on how to get started in
astronomy. With a concise, clear discussion on the background of
astronomical science, this is above all, a book to celebrate the
beauty and fascination of space.
