Cosmos

Explore the Wonders of the Universe

Author DK
Foreword by Dr Becky Smethurst
Cosmos is a visually captivating journey through the Universe and is as expansive as the Cosmos itself.

It covers everything from the asteroid belt to deep space probes, the ISS to the Oort Cloud, the Big Bang to the end of the Universe, and almost everything in between.

Cosmos is a tour through space, starting with the Sun and the inner Solar System, then moving through the outer planets, into the Milky Way, and finally, to the realm of distant galaxies.

In this book, you’ll find:
  • The latest images from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope
  • Panoramic views of the surface of Mars and images captured by probes that have landed for the first time on comets and asteroids.
  • Features on the technology of space exploration, the history of astronomy, and our cultural connection to the night sky.
Cosmos is a perfect introduction to the wonders of the Universe for young and old astronomers alike. Make time for space-time!
We believe in the power of discovery. That's why we create books for everyone that explore ideas and nurture curiosity about the world we live in.
 
From first words to the Big Bang, from the wonders of nature to city adventures, you will find expert knowledge, hours of fun and endless inspiration in the pages of our books.
