A beautiful new book, “Your Ticket to the Universe: A Guide to Exploring the Cosmos” highlights some of the most fascinating and important sites in the universe, from those closest to us in our Solar System all the way to the Milky Way galaxy and beyond. All of these celestial landmarks are illustrated with beautiful, vivid photographs that bring them to life. You can read Jason Major’s full review of this book here.
This is an awesome compilation of images and information, and the book was written by by Kimberly K. Arcand and Megan Watzke, media coordinator and press officer and for NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory.

This book sounds amazing.. can’t wait to read it 🙂
Would love to have it, not just for me but also for my grandchildren who fortunately are just as curious about the universe as I am.
Oh my – I sure hope I win it – at the moment I can’t afford to buy it!
Since childhood I have been fascinated with space and the cosmos and read many books and magazines on this subject. I would dearly love to win this book.
I’ve got two teen minds to feed! 🙂
Sounds like a great book!
bring the universe too me.
