Description

The alien, cratered landscape of our nearest celestial neighbor, the Moon. The twirling spiral arms of a remote galaxy glittering from the combined light of 50 billion stars. The rolling multi-hued cloud bands of Jupiter. These impressive wonders of the universe have been captured by the cameras of talented amateur astronomers and the Hubble Space Telescope and are presented here in brilliant high-resolution color. This 12-image collection was compiled by stargazing authority Terence Dickinson, author of NightWatch, who brings a wealth of practical experience to the calendar's daily diary of predicted celestial events, ranging from meteor showers to eclipses.
