Visions of the Universe

Visions of the Universe by ASIMOV, Isaac.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780939540013.

Here are 46 stunning portraits of the Cosmos painted by the Japanese artist, Kazuaki Iwasaki. They are meticulous, almost photographic representations, but framed by the artists eye--beauty informed by science. The reproductions sweep us from the Earth, the Moon and the Sun, to the Planets and the Stars. Each painting is accompanied by a clear and simple text written by the leading American science writer Isaac Asimov.
