Space. Complete Encyclopedia

This book contains the most comprehensive information about space, celestial bodies, technologies created by humans for traveling into space, its study, and ways to observe the night sky. From the book, you will learn not only common facts about space... (the structure of the Sun, planets, the arrangement of the Solar System) but also less popular facts: the structure and types of molecular clouds, types of galaxies, hypotheses about the shape of the Universe, a brief history of space exploration, and detailed information about modern telescopes and artificial satellites.
Under the cover, only relevant information. Which spacecraft are currently actively exploring the Moon or Mars? When will the next solar eclipse occur? Where can it be observed? Which is larger - Pluto or Eris? Was the beginning of the Universe hot or cold? Answers to these questions are rapidly changing each year, and we have updated all the data for the 2020 edition of the book.
