‘Universe: Exploring the Astronomical World’ by Phaidon Editors

A collection of mankind’s records of the mysteries of the universe, from cave paintings to digital art.

From the time of cave paintings to that of the Hubble telescope, mankind’s existential questions of its place in the universe have remained largely unchanged since the first man gazed up at the night sky. Universe: Exploring the Astronomical World is a collection of 300 images that walks you through the wonder and awe we felt towards the mysteries of the stars and beyond.

The diverse and thought-provoking selection of images, which include photographs, paintings, sketches, digital renderings, and more, is curated and captioned by an international panel of experts to aptly illustrate and celebrate our philosophical musings and scientific discoveries as a human race. Leaf through the pages of this intellectual art book, and soon you’ll find yourself in a meditative state, ever-curious and asking the great questions of where we are.
