We live on one small planet, circling a star we call the Sun that is just one of 100 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Our galaxy is just one among many millions in the Universe, which was born in the Big Bang, when time and space actually began.

Space is what we move around in, in three dimensions, left and right, forwards and backwards, up and down. We can move around in space from one place to another. Time is less controllable. We seem to move forward through it - whether we like it or not. We cannot go back to the past, nor can we jump forward to the future. Scientists describe time as the fourth dimension, and combine time and space as one entity called spacetime.

Since ancient humans first watched the cycles of the Sun, Moon, and stars, the study of the heavens has evolved from superstition to hi-tech science. This beautiful volume brings vividly to life our compelling exploration of the galaxies - past, present, and future.

The sky on any night is the 20th century is nearly the same as the one seen by people who lived thousands of years ago. But advances in technology mean we can now see 1,000 times further into space and have greatly increased our understanding of our solar system and the wider galaxy it is part of. What we know today of distant galaxies, star evolution, comets, meteorites, asteroid belts, supernovae, and black holes, is the result of our enduring fascination with the skies.

It is all around us - we are made of it - everything, everywhere is made up of some form of matter. Some of the earliest scientific experiments attempted to find out what the things around us are made of, and today we are still discovering new forms and combinations of matter.

In theory, the total amount of mass and energy, or matter, in the universe never changes. In this book you will see all the different forms that matter can take, the properties of liquids, solids, and gases, the structure of crystals, and how we order the elements in the periodic table. See how carbon is present in millions of different compounds, and learn about molecular and atomic structure.
