National Geographic Picture Atlas of Our Universe Book

Planet by planet, star after star, Our Universe takes you on an adventure that begins before people even knew the Earth was round and ends aboard shuttles and starships. Internationally known artists lift you to space scapes as awesome as they are accurate. You'll see planetary vistas photographed by NASA's most recent flybys. This completely updated atlas brings you 343 paintings, drawings, photgraphs, and maps. You'll find an illustrated time chart of important 20th-century space events, a glossary and index, and a guide to planetariums and space museums in the United States and Canada.

Text, photographs, paintings, and maps explore the history of astronomy, the solar system, the universe, and new space discoveries.
