A journey through the universe: past ringed planets and icy moons to the birthplaces of stars. Colourful nebulae fill the cosmos, interwoven remnants of stars line the path. Leaving the Milky Way, you encounter balls of thousands of stars until the next galaxy comes into view, a mirror image of our own Milky Way. We venture deeper and deeper into space, distant islands of stars gather in groups, and in young galaxies, quasars radiate energy as if there were no tomorrow.
This fantastic visual journey through space shows the best images of cosmic objects and explains their nature in short, easy-to-understand texts.
