The book is organised into five parts, answering key questions:* What do we see with our naked eye?* Where are we in the universe? * What are the other planets like?* What do modern telescopes see?* Where is the sky studied from?From ancient views of the sky to the International Space Station, Earth to Pluto and Crab Nebulae to space suits, Space Maps has the universe covered.
