Full Description

This seven-volume series covers the extent of the universe, making the heavens accessible to every student.

Our knowledge of the universe has increased tremendously over the last century. We now know that our Milky Way galaxy is but one of hundreds of billions of galaxies; our solar system is not unique, since scientists have found other planets circling other stars throughout the galaxy. And our discoveries are not over—there still exist mysteries to be solved by the next generation of astronomers.
