Galaxies in three dimensions

An illustrated guide to galaxies that combines more than two hundred observatory photographs with eighty diagrams and a 3-D viewer. Its scope runs from galaxy formation, nature, evolution, and classification to the collisions and mergers that shape galactic systems. The book also presents a non-mathematical overview of modern astronomy and cosmology, with a reference section on historical galaxy catalogues and a comprehensive index. The visual material and reference features make it both a survey of galaxy science and a resource for exploring how galaxies are categorized and change over time.
