Photographs of
outer space produced by earthbound and space telescopes and planet-roving
satellites have captivated a vast audience. And nowhere has this audience
found more enthralling views than on Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD), a
website so popular that it draws well over one million hits every week. This
stunning book presents in unprecedented clarity 365 spectacular images culled
from the thousands that have been featured on the site, which has been hailed
as one of the best science sites by both Scientific American and Popular
Science magazines.
Following the enormously successful format of Abramsı Earth From Above: 365
Days, The Universe: 365 Days has been crafted by the two astrophysicists who
in 1995, in collaboration with NASA, created and continue to maintain the APOD
website. Accompanying each stunning image is a short explanatory text that
greatly expands the readerıs appreciation of the wonders of the cosmos.
