From planets and moons to black holes and asteroids, take a spectacular journey through the Universe with this definitive, illustrated guide for budding astronomers.

Since the earliest moments of our civilization, space has captured the human imagination. Go on a tour of the Universe that is simply out of this world, taking in our planetary neighbors, our life-giving Sun, the awesome power of black holes, our nearby galaxies, and the creative power of stardust. See the passion of the people behind the space missions, the incredible inventions and spacecraft that allow us to see and travel farther than ever before, and, as humanity takes it first tentative steps towards these new worlds, be part of the journey that will define us forever.

Discover everything you need to know about the ever-expanding universe in this must-have guide for children written by award-winning astrophysicist Professor Raman Prinja. With awe-inspiring illustrations by astrophysicist-turned-illustrator Suzie Mason.

Multi-award-winning author, Professor Raman Prinja, is Head of Department for Astronomy at University College London. He is dedicated to the belief that it is hugely important to promote awareness of astronomy and physics to as wide an audience as possible, and especially to motivate and inspire the next generation of Universe explorers. As part of Professor Prinja's outreach, he has written several books on astronomy to share the excitement of the Universe with laypersons, parents, teachers and, above all, young people. Suzie Mason loved drawing as a child but left it behind to pursue a scientific path, studying astrophysics and then medical imaging at university. Whist she loved learning about these fields, she longed to return to her art again. A few years later, she dared to call herself and illustrator. Suzie went on to become a New York Times number one bestseller. She works from home in a small English cottage, drawing the surrounding natural world.
