****The Universe
365 Days

Harry N. Abrams, New York, 2003.
Available at Sembach Library (520.222 NEM).
The Universe: 365 Days is another book of stunning
photographs from Harry N. Abrams Publishers. This time, the photographs
are from space, pictures of our universe. They include pictures of
stars, constellations, planets, nebulas, comets, galaxies, and so much
more.
365 is a large number of pictures. It would be nice to own
this book and look at one picture per day. As it was, it took me
longer to get through this book than The
Earth From Above: 365 Days, because pictures from space were
harder for me to understand than pictures of the earth. We know
so much more about space than we did when I was a child doing reports on
the planets! The pictures were beautiful and intriguing.
I highly recommend this book for anyone even slightly interested
in astronomy, and anyone else interested in learning about the wonders
of our amazing universe.
