In this volume the panorama of the Universe unfolds, as writer Michael Rowan-Robinson introduces the full range of theories, insights, historical events, and myths associated with the Universe. Rowan-Robinson reveals the violent history of the solar system; the birth, evolution, and spectacular death of stars; the astral sources of the elements that make up our own bodies; mysterious quasars and giant radio galaxies; and the engima of the Big Bang - the very origin of existence. "Our Universe" combines, over 350 images from ground-based and satellite telescopes, and dozens of literary quotations, historical anecdotes, and classic paintings with astronomical themes.
