Description
The serene beauty of our home plant Earth, floating in the blackness of deep space. The twirling spiral arms of a remote galaxy glittering from the combined light of 50 billion stars. The glowing curtains of the majestic northern lights. Captured by the cameras of both amateur and research astronomers, and by the Hubble Space Telescope, these impressive wonders of the universe are presented in Astronomy 2004 in brilliant high-resolution color. This 12-image collection was compiled by stargazing authority Terence Dickinson, author of NightWatch, who brings a wealth of practical experience to the calendar's daily diary of predicted celestial events, ranging from meteor showers to eclipses.
