- Universe: The Definitive Visual Guide is a 528-page, non-fiction book by nine British co-authors (Robert Dinwiddie, Philip Eales, David Hughes, Iain Nicolson, Ian Ridpath, Giles Sparrow, Pam Spence, Carole Stott and Kevin Tildsley) with a short Foreword by Sir Martin Rees, first published in 2005.
The book is divided into three sections, beginning with an introduction to theories of the Universe, space exploration, Earth's view of space and how the Universe will end. The second section, "Guide to the Universe", contains information on the Sun and the Solar System, as well as the Milky Way and other types of galaxies. The last section, "The Night Sky", has full-page maps and charts of the night sky for both northern and southern viewers as well as a comprehensive list of the constellations.
The book contains full-colour pictures, maps and probe photographs. There are in-depth looks at features of planets in the Solar System, such as Venus's craters and Mars's ridges. There are also captions describing the scientists and stories behind various discoveries.
The book was produced in London by Dorling Kindersley and is published internationally. A revised and updated edition was published in September 2007, including developments such as the reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet. In October 2012, the book was revised for a third time adding newly discovered information about planets in other planetary systems and water on Mars. A fourth edition appeared in 2020.

@@tuneboyz5634 bro you are everywhere ✨
Is there a new published edition which contains the pictures captured by JWST and the 1st pic of blackhole?
Not yet, but I guess a lot of ou lusher will try to bring up to date their books.
I am enthusiastic, if that is what you mean!
I have this book it costs a lot you know 3000 rupees
You can get it second hand in the UK or US from ebay. I got mine from Amazon for 1/3 the price, new. It is a book that costs a lot to produce, on quality paper and in full colour with a hardback cover. If it was not mass produced, it would have cost almost 3 to 4 times more. However you don't need to buy it if there is a library who can buy it and lend you to read it. These kinds of books are available in school libraries.
