Every night, above our heads, a drama of galactic proportions unfolds. Diamond planets, living stars, black holes heavier than billions of Suns. The heroes of this show are extraordinary, each with their own incredible story to tell.
Once we saw our Earth as unique, but now we have discovered thousands of exoplanets, which are just a small class of worlds that exist out there. And there are more stars in the Universe than grains of sand on every planet in the Solar System. Yet, within this vastness, our Galaxy, the Sun, and the Earth are home to the only known life in the Universe — at least for now.
With a foreword by Professor Brian Cox and access to all the latest stunning images from NASA, Andrew Cohen takes readers on a journey of discovery through the missions and telescopes exploring the outer regions of our galaxy, revealing how it formed and how it will inevitably be destroyed by the mysterious black hole at its heart. And beyond our galaxy, the expanding Universe, which hides clues to the greatest mystery of all – how did it all begin? We now know more about those first moments of existence than we ever thought possible, and hidden in this story of how it all began are the clues to the fate of the Universe and everything it contains.
