Imagine the biggest thing you can think of -- now imagine something bigger that hasn't even stopped growing. That is the universe. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, though enormous, is a tiny speck among the 100 billion galaxies containing nebulas, planets, "space pods," billions of stars, and black holes that fill the cosmos. New stars, planets, and galaxies continue to form as the universe expands. Award-winning science writer Seymour Simon has teamed up with the Smithsonian Institution to bring you a new, updated edition of his acclaimed book on this immense topic.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 3.0 based on 2 reviews)

True disappointment

This book is only valid if you believe in the big bang theory of the creation of the universe. It is also light on statistics and gives no detail on the different planets in the universe. You have to buy all the individual books to get that.

The Universe

If you love space then this is the book for you. The conceps leave you wondering how big the universe is and if it is still expanding. The pictures are absolutly breathtaking. With the pictures and explanations of the galaxy, black holes, and stars, the book is a must for space lovers. It is easy to understand and would make a great gift to any child, or anyone of any age, who loves space.
