The Invisible Universe

Amateur astronomers in the northern hemisphere (as well as all those who love a good coffee table book) will appreciate these glamorous, large format photos taken from the Anglo-Australian Observatory. Malin, a scientist at the Observatory, used three separate exposures to capture such spectacular sights as the Great Orion Nebula, the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, and the Hand of God cometary globule. Each photo is accompanied by a brief description of its subject's history, lore, and physical characteristics and sometimes a quotation or poem. 13.50x16.25
