Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Astronomy: 365 Days is a spectacular collection of photographs of space and sky, drawn from Jerry Bonnell and Robert Nemiroff’s enormously popular website, Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD).

The follow-up to their previous collaboration, The Universe: 365 Days (the second-highest- selling title in the 365 Days series), this volume is filled with amazing images from the Spirit and Opportunity rovers on Mars and the Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn, the latest revelations from the Hubble Space Telescope, and gorgeous views from professionals and amateurs. Each photograph is accompanied by explanatory text that greatly expands the reader’s appreciation of the wonders of the cosmos.

Perfect for anyone who’s ever felt the allure of the skies, Astronomy: 365 Days is a heavenly treasure. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glorious Images, May 29, 2007
This review is from: Astronomy: 365 Days (Hardcover)
Astronomy: 365 is a wonderfully simple concept: one picture for each of the 365 nights of the year. This allows for a great variety of images, taken by all sorts of instruments from ordinary cameras to the Hubble Space Telescope, spanning broad panoramas of the night or evening sky to extreme close-ups of the Moon, galaxies and other heavenly bodies. Each image comes with a page of explanation of what can be seen and how the image was obtained.

A fascinating collection: the only criticism possible being that the book is rather small in both senses: it leaves you hungry for more pictures, which could be done more justice on larger format pages...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of astonomical pictures, May 5, 2008
By David Gil Navalon (Madrid, Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Astronomy: 365 Days (Hardcover)
A heavy and thick book with a great compendium of pictures shown on the Astronomical Picture of the Day website. It's a very good selection, and the captions - however brief - are interesting enough. To be read and enjoyed little by little, a few pages each day.
