Description
"A unique pictorial history of astronomical exploration from the earliest prehistoric observatories to the latest satellite images. It illustrates how the development of photography and cartography - the means of documenting other worlds - is linked indelibly to the charting of the heavens, from the first image on a glass plate to the Hubble Space Telescope.",Publisher's website.
