Watchers of the skies -- Our Sun -- Aspects of our Solar System -- The rocky planets -- The hunt for Planet X -- Voyages to the outer planets -- Harbingers of doom -- Impact! -- Four hundred years of the telescope -- The family of stars -- Aging stars -- The search for other worlds -- Are we alone? The search for life beyond the Earth -- Our island Universe -- Wonders of the southern sky -- Proving Einstein right -- Black holes : no need to be afraid -- It's about time -- Hubble's heritage : the astronomer and the telescope that honours his name -- The violent Universe -- The invisible Universe : dark matter and dark energy -- The afterglow of creation -- To infinity and beyond : a view of the cosmos.

Providing an in-depth understanding both for general readers and astronomy enthusiasts, this highly comprehensive book provides an up-to-date survey of our knowledge of the Universe beyond Earth. The book explores our Solar System, its planets and other bodies; examines the Sun and how it and other stars evolve through their lifetimes; discusses the search for planets beyond our Solar System and how we might detect life on them; and highlights interesting objects found within our galaxy, the Milky Way. It also looks at our current understanding of the origin and evolution of the Universe, as well as many other intriguing topics, such as time, black holes and Einstein's theories, dark matter, dark energy and the Cosmic Microwave Background. The book is uniquely supported by video lectures given by the author, available online. It also includes the very latest astronomical observations, such as those made by the Planck and Kepler spacecraft.
