Table of ContentsReviewsFewer than 100 years ago, this galaxy was all there was but stargazers have pushed the universal population count to about 200bn galaxies so far - each with maybe 200bn stars - and extended the boundaries of the visible universe to about 13bn light years. So a book about the academic bickering, muddled finance and international finesse behind the instruments that widened human horizons should be welcome. Even better, this heavenly topic has its share of drama and comedy. - Tim Radford, The Guardian Author InformationW. Patrick McCray is an assistant professor in the History Department of the University of California, Santa Barbara. This is his second book.
