An extraordinary look at the universe by the world's foremost astronomers, science fiction authors, space artists and photographers, this 1987 collaboration will dazzle the mind and excite the eye.

Lavishly illustrated glossy prints of then state-of-the-art astronomical photographs, speculative artwork, and views through the microscope at the subatomic structures that compose our world, these images still manage to astonish and delight, as does the text.

Contributors including Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Frederik Pohl, Robert Silverberg, and more, offer essays, speculation, and fictional journeys through the viggest canvas of them all ... The Universe.
