Welcome to the Universe in 3D: A Visual Tour

Experience the cosmos in a way that words and flat images simply cannot capture. Welcome to the Universe in 3D takes you on a grand tour of the observable universe, guiding you through the most spectacular sights in the cosmos - in breathtaking 3D. This edition has been produced from the preeminent voices in modern astrophysics: Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael A. Strauss, and J. Richard Gott, along with celebrated planetary mapper Robert J. Vanderbei.

Product Highlights

True Dimensionality: This offers a meticulously crafted stereoscopic journey. Using the included specially designed 3D viewer, readers can see the rugged craters of the Moon, the clouds of Jupiter, and the distant galaxies in stunning three-dimensional depth

Expert Curation: The authors select the most significant celestial objects—from our local planetary neighbourhood to the "cosmic web" of the early universe—explaining the science behind what you are seeing in real-time

Cutting-Edge Imagery: Features high-resolution data from the Hubble Space Telescope, planetary rovers, and advanced computer simulations, all converted into stereoscopic pairs that mimic how our eyes perceive depth.

The Gott Map of the Universe: Explore a 3D rendering of the famous logarithmic map by J. Richard Gott, allowing you to visualize the relative scale of the entire observable universe in a single view.

Immersive Education: Perfect for students, educators, and space enthusiasts, this book turns complex astrophysical data into a tactile, immersive experience that makes the scale of the universe feel "touchable".

Why It’s Unique

Whilst traditional astronomy books teach you that the universe is big, this book actually shows you. By leveraging stereoscopic technology, the authors remove the "flatness" of space, allowing you to perceive the relative distances between stars and the structural complexity of nebulae and galaxies.
