Review: Arguably the Single Most Beautiful Book on Space to Date!! - There are actually a lot of high quality coffee table style books now that focus on space related imagery or satellite imagery and that is mainly due to the fact that there are now a LOT of different satellites in orbit taking pictures at all different frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum. There are so many now, Its actually hard keeping up with all of them. On top of that, ground based telescopes now have this absolutely brilliant technique called adaptive optics, which is basically where a laser is shot into the atmosphere to measure the amount of atmospheric distortion that is taking place due to the Earth's atmosphere. The end result of this amazing technology is they are basically able to cancel out the atmospheric distortion that is taking place due to the Earth's atmosphere and that basically makes Earth based telescopes SIGNIFICANTLY more powerful than they used to be. In fact, some ground based telescopes are now sharper than many of the telescopes orbiting the planet in space. The bottom line is that there are literally TONS of new pictures being taken in space all the time and that has caused a major increase in the number of books released that focus on space related imagery. I am a space junkie and just can't get enough space content, wether it be pictures, documentaries, books, etc. I even take the really high quality image files that NASA makes available to people and I have really beautiful prints made from sites like Zazzle and Society 6. Thankfully all of NASA's pictures are free domain, which means your allowed to have prints made from them. I am also an amateur backyard astronomer and love taking pictures of space. I also purchased a high end solar telescope from Lunt and taking pictures of the sun has become one of my single favorite photographic subjects. I'm a professional photographer and am just a HUGE fan of art in general so anytime I see a new astronomy related art book, I don't hesitate to press the order button. I have an entire bookshelf now that is pretty much dedicated to space related books, many of which are photography related books and there are a LOT of amazing astronomy related photography books on the market. In fact, I really can't think of one that I actually disliked. Some are certainly better than others, but I have never purchased one that I regretted purchasing. Anyways, I recently went to Barnes and Noble with my wife as she always buys a slew of calendars that she gives as presents during Christmas. I wound up wandering into the art/photography section and someone had left this book on one of the chairs that was in that department. I sat down and within just 10-15 pages I was already 100% sold on buying it. IMO, this is one of the most beautiful astronomy related photography books I have seen to date and that is just a HUGE compliment given how many amazing astronomy related photography books I have purchased over the years. The photographer stitches many of these images together from lots of individual pictures. It must take a lot of work, but the results are spectacular in most cases. If your a space junkie like myself or you just enjoy looking at beautiful pictures of the Cosmos, this should be the very next book on your to buy list. Trust me, this is without question one of the most unique and one of the most beautiful astronomy related art books produced to date. And the reasonable MSRP price just makes it that much more of a no brainer. All in all, this is just a brilliant book with absolutely spectacular images in it. A must buy for all space junkies and connoisseurs. 5 Stars!!
Review: Worth every penny and more - Absolutely fabulous book. High quality stitching and incredible picture clarity. So much perspective and insight within this book. Cities, farms, oceans, etc. Wonderful before and after photos. Would recommend this to anyone. EVERY HOUSEHOLD SHOULD OWN THIS BOOK.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our planet is a work of art. Organized, fascinating, detailed, and very well made
*by P***S on November 17, 2016*

Got this book for our families coffee table in the living room and everyone has been loving it. Pretty damn fascinating photos from above laid out in an organized, aesthetically pleasing fashion. And there were hundreds of these colorful/detailed photos - all of them left us wondering about nature and the complex layouts and architecture of cities/environments. I liked how it included went beyond cities to include so many unique perspective in mother nature. Our planet is truly a work of art - so much variety and wonder. Mad good book. They also have well worded educational explanations by the photos. Def recommend it for everyone who wants a mesmerizing / educational coffee table book - especially anyone who expects company to their home or business. Or as a give for family/friends.
