The Sky at Night (Paperback, TV Tie-in)

Accompanying the BBC television series, this book contains essays ranging across the whole spectrum of astronomy, space exploration and astrophysics, and tracking the story of astronomical discovery in the 1990s. For Earthbound viewers, the appearance of the Hale-Bopp and Halley's comets, followed by solar and lunar eclipses, triggered a huge upsurge in popular interest. In the same decade the Hubble Space Telescope transmitted thousands of images from deep space, shedding new light on the structure and origins of the universe, and the robot lander on the surface of Mars relayed information about surface conditions on the red planet. The essays cover these events and more, and include discussions with leading astronomers.
