Philip's Atlas of the Universe Résumé

Philip's Atlas of the Universe Sir Patrick Moore

This classic work is a definitive reference to the stars, the planets and the Universe. It contains hundreds of photographs from the very best ground-based telescopes and the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, along with fascinating images from five decades of robotic exploration of the planets. As well as being a beautiful and informative portrait of the cosmos, the book provides superb star maps and sound advice on practical observing, making it a highly suitable guide for those who wish to discover the richness of astronomy for themselves.

À propos de Sir Patrick Moore

Sir Patrick Moore, as author of more than 60 books and presenter of the world's longest-running television series, The Sky at Night, popularised astronomy for over 50 years. Born in 1923, he was elected a member of the British Astronomical Association while still a schoolboy. During WWII he served with the RAF. He was fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society (Jackson-Gwilt medalist), a member of the International Astronomical Union and holder of the Goodacre Medal from the British Astronomical Association of which he was president from 1982-84 and then Life Vice-President. He was also a member of astronomical societies of many other countries. In 2001 he received a knighthood for his services to astronomy. A minor planet (No 2602) has been named Moore after him.
