Bang!! 2: The Complete History of the Universe

In 2006, rock legend and experienced amateur astronomer Brian May joined the legendary expert

Sir Patrick Moore and astrophysicist Professor Chris Lintott to tell the story of the universe from the moment time and space came into existence at the Big Bang, through to the infinite future and the ultimate fate that awaits us. Following the spectacular success of the original book, Brian and Chris have got together again to extend and update the information in this accessible introduction to the history of the universe. Many of the pictures of the universe obtained by instruments such as the Hubble Space Telescope or the Very Large Telescope in Chile are beautiful enough to be considered works of art in their own right and this book presents them in context, and uses extraordinary new artworks to explain the mind-blowing theories from the cutting edge of astronomy in a way that everyone can understand. Fully revised and updated throughout, this new edition also contains an entire new chapter as well as more than 100 new photographs and illustrations.
