DR STUART LOWE has previously worked at Jodrell Bank Observatory where he helped build astronomical instruments used on radio telescopes in the UK and Poland. At the University of Manchester, he worked on the European Space Agency's Planck satellite, which was launched in 2009 to look at the echoes of the Big Bang. He co-founded the UK's longest running, regular, astronomy podcast - The Jodcast.
"Cosmos: The Infographic Book of Space answers these questions [of
space] in a stunning fashion, but to describe it as a beautiful
book full of interesting facts does not do it justice. Frankly,
it's a marvel and a delight, and no-one with an interest in space
or science communication should be without it. ... Few, if any,
popular science books make such mysteries as accessible as
Cosmos does."
"Astronomers Stuart Lowe and Chris North really lift off in
this graphic exploration of all things space. Their depictions of
year-by-year spaceflights and space junk shock through sheer
numbers, while their takes on interplanetary missions, moons in the
Solar System and particularly the polarization of the Milky Way €”
like a cosmic finger-painting in palest mauve €” deliver the facts
with aesthetic brio."
