Baker leads us on an exhilarating exploration of the other worlds of our solar system, and the distant stars and galaxies beyond. From the royal stargazers of ancient Babylon to the space probes and orbital telescopes of today, this is the fascinating story of how we've been touched by the cosmos across human history.
