The “Philip’s Atlas of the Universe” is a classic work, a fantastic 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 themselves.

The book is divided into seven sections:

- Exploring the Universe: the history of astronomy and space exploration.
- The Solar System: the Earth and all the planets.
- The Sun: information on the astrophysical and visible phenomena.
- The Stars: movements and life cycles and everything in between!
- Into the Universe: a fascinating look at the structure of the Universe
- Star Maps: complete atlas of the constellations in 22 maps.
- The Practical Astronomer: packed with useful information for the aspiring astronomer.

This is a truly fantastic reference tool, and comes recommended by the Journal of the British Astronomical Association and a foreword by Sir Patrick Moore himself just to prove the point.
