Stunning Images of Deep Space

If you have ever wanted to know the difference between a barred spiral galaxy and an irregular galaxy, this is the book for you. Beautiful photographs of these galaxies, and so much more, await you in this wonderful little book. It has served as a reference for me for several years now. Even with oodles more Hubble shots available these days, this book is still not dated. Each photo is given a description as to type of deep-sky object it is (a spirial galaxy or an emission nebula, for instance), light years distance away from us, where in space it is located and a little data about the nature of itself. Andromeda, the Pleiades, the Ring Nebula and much more await you in this little pocket book by the National Audubon Society. Much recommended for the "space nut"!

A superb picture book of the cosmos.

Easy to read and even easier to look at, this little book is a giant. The photos are beautiful and their full-bleed format makes them look like little windows to the universe. If it's photos of the deep-sky objects you want, this book is the perfect place to start.
