Summary:"It is 400 years since Galileo first turned the newly invented telescope towards the heavens and saw things that few had ever seen before. His discoveries, along with those of his contemporaries, completely changed our view of the world." "Since that time, there have been many revolutions in our understanding of the universe, some perhaps even more revolutionary than the ones from Galileo's time. In this book, Will Gater leads us through various recent advances in modern astronomy that have increased our understanding of the universe and seen it grow from a single Solar System full of intriguing worlds to a galaxy filled with other star systems and their own planets - maybe even Earthlike worlds." --Book Jacket.
