Astronomy: 365 Days is a spectacular collection of photographs of space and sky, drawn from Jerry Bonnell and Robert Nemiroff's enormously popular website, Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD). The follow-up to their previous collaboration, The Universe: 365 Days (the second-highest-selling title in the 365 Days series), this volume is filled with amazing images from the Spirit and Opportunity rovers on Mars and the Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn, the latest revelations from the Hubble Space Telescope, and gorgeous views from professionals and amateurs. Each photograph is accompanied by explanatory text that greatly expands the reader's appreciation of the wonders of the cosmos. Perfect for anyone who's ever felt the allure of the skies, Astronomy: 365 Days is a heavenly treasure.
