The Cosmic Tourist by Chris Lintott
Take your seats for an out-of-this-word tour through the Cosmos Brian May, Patrick Moore, and Chris Lintott--authors of Bang --fly us from Earth to the farthest-out galaxies, stopping along the way to explain 100 amazing sights, from asteroids to zodiacal dust. Extraordinary images present the universe as seen through the biggest and best telescopes, and occasionally from those of expert amateur observers.Brian May CBE, PhD, ARCS, FRAS
Is a founding member of Queen, a world-renowned guitarist, songwriter, producer and performer. Brian was forced to abandon his PhD studies at Imperial College London in 1974 when Queen's popularity first exploded. He always retained a keen interest in astronomy and has been a regular contributor to The Sky at Night, BBC TV's monthly astronomy programme hosted by Sir Patrick Moore. Returning to astrophysical research in 2006, he was awarded his PhD in 2007. He is Chancellor of John Moores University, and a patron to a number of charities, including the Mercury Phoenix Trust and the British Bone Marrow Donor Association.
