Dieser vorzüglich bebilderte Ausflug in das Universum erfüllt alle Erwartungen, die man gewohnt ist, an die Bilder von David Malin zu stellen. Atemberaubende Bilder, die mit einigen der weltgrößten Teleskope und außerordentlicher Dunkelkammertechnik entstanden sind, machen dieses Buch zu einem einmaligen Erlebnis.

David Malin hat Sternhaufen, Nebel und Galaxien in ihren natürlichen Farben dargestellt. Er beschreibt die Bilder, von denen einige nie zuvor veröffentlicht wurden, ohne zu viele technische Ausdrücke zu verwenden und liefert dadurch ein umfassendes Bild unseres Universums.

This lavishly illustrated photographic exploration of the universe will delight everyone intrigued by the night sky. This is the finest collection of colour photographs of star clusters, galaxies, and nebulae ever published. Working with the world’s most sophisticated telescopes and his own revolutionary techniques, world renowned astronomical photographer David Malin captures distant worlds and phenomena in their astonishing colours. These unique pictures are accompanied by nontechnical captions and a lucid text accessible and inspiring to the general reader as well as to astronomers and photographers. The foremost astronomical photographer in the world, David Malin is the discoverer of an enigmatic galaxy now known as Malin-1 and the co-author of Colours of the Stars and Catalogue of the Universe, both published by Cambridge University Press. His photographs have appeared in locations as diverse as Australian postage stamps and the cover of Life magazine.
