Visual Galaxy Summary

Visual Galaxy: The Ultimate Guide to the Milky Way and Beyond by National Geographic

This compelling visual journey through our galaxy combines more than
350 photographs, illustrations, and graphics to present the universe
as you've never seen it before.


Galaxia is a deep dive into the past, present, and future of our home galaxy,
the Milky Way. In this mind-expanding visual tour through the cosmos,
spectacular photographs are converted into interpretive graphics, starting with
the sun and moving outward into space where stars are born, black holes lurk,
and planets of diverse size and anatomy spin through their orbit. The final
chapters locate our galaxy within the known universe and add a scintillating
peek of other exoplanets in the cosmos. Detailed maps and fascinating imagery
from recent space missions are paired with clear, authoritative scientific
information.

Visual Galaxy Reviews

This a world-expanding book of our universe. If you feel small on the daily, like I do when I consider the vastness of space, this picture book will shrink you even more.
Its hard to put into words how beautiful these pictures are. This is the perfect book to keep in a living area for guests. Would also be amazing in a classroom, possibly inspiring some future astronauts or engineers. Amys Book-et List
From the first image of two galaxies colliding, I knew this book was going to be amazingOverall, a remarkable book for any space enthusiast. Stephanies Book Reviews

Confession: Ive become addicted to these National Geographic books. The quality is outstanding as weve always expected from Nat Geo, and I learn so much from reading them. Visual Galaxy is exactly what youd expect and more. Its our beloved Milky Way in pictures, looking at its past, present, and futureit also gives a glimpse into our galaxys position within the vast universe. Jennifer - Tar Heel Reader

Five words: the perfect coffee table book! Literary Quicksand

Swoon. This is another stunner from National Geographic. As one would expect, the book is full of breathtaking photos that bring you into space. Its also a great reminder of just how tiny the Earth is when you start to consider the whole of the galaxyIts the perfect book to just get lost in. Ha lost in space. Broken Teepee

I was so wrapped up in the facts and pictures that I lost track of time and then I had finished it. A Dream Within a Dream

@natgeocontinues to publish amazing stories of our world, and beyond! Visual Galaxy was released last month and is full of incredible photos, illustrations, and explanations of the universe. Ive loved introducing@natgeoto my own kids - a whole new generation of humans thirsty for knowledge and hungry to explore our world. Instagram: @theunreadshelf

That's the best part about National Geographic, we all know them and we know that they are the pinnacle of great so if someone sees these books- they are most certainly going to pick them up and get sucked inNot only did I love this book but my 14 and 11 year-old did as well, and it was fun to have discussions about it. Stranded in Chaos

If the information itself wasnt enough this book is FULL of gorgeous photos and illustrations of things like supernovae, star clusters, solar flares and planets. Ms. Nose in a Book

The Foreword from Col. Chris Hadfield is a short love letter to everyone inspired by the sky and what is just past what we can see; I'm a Hadfield fan already but his brief introduction was genuine, awe-filled, and inspiring. This book is perfect for my aspiring astronaut as it has giant, gorgeous photos, artistic renderings, diagrams, and other pictures detailing the huge and little mysteries of space. Unabridged Chick
