Philip's Atlas of the Universe

Abstract

Fully revised and updated, Philip's Atlas of the Universe is a definitive reference to the stars, the plants, and the universe. Extended by an additional 16 pages for 1997, this edition contains a wealth of new photographs from ground based telescopes and the Hubble Space Telescope, along with the best images from nearly four decades of robotic exploration of the planets. This atlas provides superb star maps and sound advice on practical observing from Britain's best-known astronomer, Patrick Moore.
