"What's Out There: Images From Here to the Edge of the Universe" is a marvelous reference book and a great coffee-table book. Measuring 9X12 inches it contains over 100 spectacular photographs of heavenly bodies.
All of the photos are arranged in alphabetical order, in the form of a dictionary. This makes it easy to find your favorite photos as well as to look up interesting items. Each photo is accompanied by text that provides in-depth information on the celestial object in question.
The book contains a foreword by Stephen Hawking that is forward looking and as vast in its scope as the universe about which he writes. In all, this is a mind expanding book that makes a great gift for anyone interested in the heavens and what they contain.
