Space may be the 'final frontier' but how do we learn about it, look deeper into it, and live in it

The infographics in this book will rocket you through a universe of powerful telescopes, distant probes, and high-speed spacecraft.

Get ready to buzz by comets, land on alien planets, peer into the universe's past, and go where no one (except a handful of rovers and space probes) has gone before! We live in a complicated cosmos, but this book breaks down the complex, the confusing, and the downright kooky to reveal the fascinating details and hidden wonders that are out of this world.
