Zabilješke: Universe: A Journey from Earth to the Edge of the Cosmos by Nicolas Cheetham is a visual tour de force of the cosmos, taking readers from our planet to the farthest reaches of the visible cosmos. The book is best-loved as a lavishly illustrated coffee table book with over 200 dramatic, high-resolution astronomical images. The book is organized as a linear journey at the speed of light. It begins in the Solar System, travels through the Milky Way, past nebulae and black holes, and all the way to the edge of the visible universe and the "background radiation" of the Big Bang. It includes spectacular photographs of planets, stars, supernovae, white dwarfs, and galaxies taken by state-of-the-art telescopes (like Hubble) and spacecraft (like the Cassini and Discovery missions). It focuses on large images accompanied by short, informative descriptions and facts about each celestial body.
