Large Coffee Table / Art Books Atlas of the Universe Author: Sir Patrick Moore Illustrations by Description: A normally very scarce title and a nice oversized edition. More than 500 color images, 400 photographs, 70 maps, and 90 artworks. I have tried to mash up a bunch of illustrations just to show you a fraction of what is included in the book. The size of the book and gloss of the pages make this a hard one to photograph without professional equipment. -- Throughout human history, there has been no subject as fascinating and mysterious as the cosmos and our place in it. Atlas of the Universe is a gorgeously illustrated reference to the stars, planets, and beyond. This title is divided into numerous informative and visually stunning sections including: The Universe, The Solar System, The Sun, The Stars, and Star Maps. It includes many references to our endeavor to explore through space missions and even a little on viewing equipment. Just over 12" tall!
