It covers the solar system in detail, including planets, moons, rings, comets, meteors, and solar phenomena, then extends to stars, galaxies, quasars, and the evolving universe. The work concludes with comprehensive star maps, seasonal charts, a practical astronomy section with observing guidance, glossary, and index.","ATLAS OF THE UNIVERSE  \nREVISED EDITION  \nSIR PATRICKMOORE  \n‘The best introduction to astronomy’  \nThe Journal of the British Astronomical Association  \n|  |  |\n| --- | --- |\n\nATLAS OF THE UNIVERSE  \nREVISED EDITION  \nSIR PATRICK MOORE  \nFOREWORD BY  \nPROFESSOR SIR ARNOLD WOLFENDALE, FRS  \nASTRONOMER ROYAL 1991-94  \nContents  \nFirst published in 1994  \nby Philip’s,  \na division of Octopus Publishing Group Ltd, 2–4 Heron Quays, London E14 4JP  \n© 1994, 2003, 2005 Philip’s  \nThis new edition 2005  \nA CIP catalogue record for this book is available from the British Library.  \nISBN-13 978-0-540-08791-4  \nISBN-10 0-540-08791-2  \nAll rights reserved.
