'New Cosmos' takes readers on an illustrated tour of the most recent discoveries in outer space, starting here at home, on Earth, and moving outward, ever outward.
What does dark energy look like? Or the awesome phenomenon of cosmic cannibalism, when immense black holes swallow entire solar systems? Pre-eminent NASA illustrator Dana Berry makes these and many other unseen wonders of the cosmos visible as never before, revealing a Universe that we can't see even with the most powerful orbiting telescopes - and that scientists can only imagine.
Berry takes readers on a dazzling tour of the new cosmos. Drawing on his extraordinary access to NASA's archives and the latest data from the Hubble Space Telescope, Chandra X-ray Observatory and a range of other space missions, he showcases an unprecedented and spectacular selection of photographs and original full-colour illustrations that capture the most magnificent astronomical phenomena. And he complements these with clear, up-to-date and straightforward explanations of the latest space discoveries and theories - from the explosive origins of our own Universe to the possible existence of countless others beyond it.
