Thrilling Journey!

This book turned out to be the first on astronomy that really sent that shiver down my spine. The vast collection of colored photographs and diagrams really makes you feel the enormity of this universe - and you long to be there on your roof staring at the sky! This book does not (and is not meant to be) give "details" about all the kinds of cosmic material floating around us, and rather gives you a complete picture (and I mean "picture") of the whole thing. I really recommend it for those who are willing to take a dip into this exciting and heart-throbbing (and taking the risk of not returning :)
