This year, astronomers were able to capture breathtaking images of the eclipse of a super moon. The next lunar eclipse visible from the UK won’t occur until 2019 and a lunar eclipse coinciding with a super moon won’t occur again until 2033.

We dive into the depths of supermassive black holes and answer the mind-bending questions you’ve never thought to ask: what if the Moon exploded? What if Earth stopped spinning? Then we look to the future to see what incredible projects NASA is working on and theorise how the human race might go on colonise space. This book is crammed with fascinating facts, stunning illustrations and interviews with some of the world’s top scientists, so continue to explore space and its far-? ung celestial bodies now!
