Origins

In Origins, science writer John Gribbin and astronomer Simon Goodwin present the definitive illustrated history of time, detailing in clear text and spectacular images how the Universe was born. Dozens of rare photographs of deep space from the Hubble Space Telescope, the Anglo-Australian Telescope, and the Cosmic Background Explorer Satellite tell the story of how a sea of superhot gas, expanding out of the Big Bang and cooling as it did, gave rise to galaxies, stars, planets and people.
