      Have you ever wondered where our moon came from? Or if there are other Earth-like planets around other stars? Perhaps you want to know about light pollution.Here, in the updated and revised edition, Planetary Society president Jim Bell takes readers on a chronological tour of the universe as he invites them to examine two hundred fifty space-related milestones. Starting with the Big Bang, explore the birth of the heavens before moving on to ancient observatories and observations of the universe. Explore the Space Age from the early days of Sputnik to the James Webb Space Telescope. Before investigating the included notes and further reading list, ponder the future as you speculate on the end of time and the end of the universe. Highly recommended.
