An entertaining and accessible trip to the

Accompanied by dramatic visuals, Your
Ticket to the Universe is a hybrid coffee-
table book and field guide.
Beginning with our home planet, Your
Ticket to the Universe embarks on an
entertaining and accessible trip to the most
interesting stops known in the cosmos.
Learn about objects nearby within our Solar
System (our backyard in space, so to speak)
as well as wonders that are found
throughout the Milky Way galaxy and
beyond (the most distant and exotic lands
to explore). Accompanied by brilliant
photographs that bring the reading
experience to vivid, immediate life, Your
Ticket to the Universe is designed to make
space exploration accessible to everyone.
Your Ticket to the Universe outlines the
essentials anyone needs to know, while
piquing the reader's curiosity to learn
more.
