We live in an exciting age of space exploration. For the first time we can see billions of light years into space - almost to the beginning of time itself. Every day astronomers witness events that took place long before our Sun and Earth were created. The advent of powerful telescopes such as the Hubble Space Telescope is revolutionising our view of the Cosmos. The latest Hubble pictures show objects 4 billion times fainter than the limit of human vision. While Hubble has been peering into deep space NASA's robotic probes have been exploring our Solar System circling distant planets and even landing on them. The photographs beamed back to Earth reveal with astonishing clarity strange alien landscapes. The Guide to Space draws together the very best of these photographs to create a dramatic new view of the Universe. Author Peter Bond's lively commentary will capture the imagination of anyone who has ever looked into the night sky and wished to know more.
