Gazing up at the stars is an incomparable experience, but this stellar book comes close to capturing the night sky-s enchantments. The latest entry in the Welcome to the Museum series guides readers through -galleries,- explaining how humans look at space, the solar system, elements of the sky, galaxies, and the universe. Richly rendered woodblock-style illustrations by Wormell hearken back to the magical precision of early illustrations by celestial observers, mixing close-up detail, wider-range views, and diagrams, including a dazzling view of the evolving universe. Prinja-s understatedly expert text balances comprehensive information on each subject with approachable explanations of wonder-inducing science. For example, to explain transiting, a method researchers use to find exoplanets, he writes, -Imagine finding a firefly crawling over a searchlight by measuring the dimming of the searchlight-s brightness-and doing that from 620 miles away.- A mesmerizing resource for astronomy buffs young and old.
