Take a look through the lens and discover the beauty and science of the magnificent world that is our night sky - and beyond.

Find out about astronomical phenomena and take a visual tour of the Solar System, complete with stunning photography of the planets. This easy-to-follow book also makes use of clear graphics and annotations to explain the science behind the wonders of the sky.
