The latest volume in Sir Patrick Moore's series of essays written to accompany the hugely successful BBC television series of the same name. The book contains 37 chapters which track the most important developments in astronomy, astrophysics and space exploration, in the period from November 2001 to March 2005. Topics range from the very early universe, gamma-ray bursters and galactic whirlpools, to the transits of Mercury and Venus, and the arrival of the Huygens lander on Saturn's moon Titan. The essays include many of the fascinating discussions that Sir Patrick has had with leading astronomers on the 'Sky at Night' programme, and also a personal selection of colourful photographs and diagrams.
