Space Atlas: Mapping the Universe and Beyond

The last book about space I read was all about the history of human space travel. This one was all about the science behind space, including quantum mechanics and astrophysics. This book was exactly what I was looking for. It starts by talking about our solar system, then branches out to the Milky Way galaxy, then to the universe, then to the possibilities of what lies outside of our universe. The book breaks down these complex structures into easily digestible facts and metaphors so the reader is able to get a better understanding. This book is the perfect introduction into the way space works and what we still don't know anything about. I look forward to reading more books regarding the science of space. I'm hooked.
