  One of the first books on space I read as a kid. Really got me interested in space and astronomy! I learned early on what a treasure the Hubble telescope was and is still from this book.

  Pre-Hubble pics of galaxies, which makes it all the more impressive, that are both informative and beautiful matched with some great writing by Timothy Ferris. Lacks the great story telling that Tim Ferris is known for, but the pics and the descriptive voyage throughout the universe is well worth the price of admission.

  A great coffee table book
  
  My copy is a Sierra Club Book. This is beautifully illustrated and has spectacular photographs. Once you get past the coffee table fluff, there is a lot to be learned. Save this as one of the last Big Bang books that may go the way of the Piltdown Man. 'Einstein's Greatest Blunder? : The Cosmological Constant and Other Fudge Factors in the Physics of the Universe" ISBN: 0674242416
  
  Take heart, as there are other in-print books by Timothy Ferris.
  “Life Beyond Earth” by Timothy Ferris.

  Reading about astronomy is really interesting. This universe in an amazing place. I really enjoyed this book. The way they explain all of the reasons for the galaxy and the way its set up is absolutely amazing. I find it interesting the way galaxies are created and that there are hundreds and thousands of galaxies. our galaxy is huge. honestly beyond my imagination. Its even crazier that there is galaxies even bigger than ours.
