“This a world-expanding book of our universe. If you feel small on
the daily, like I do when I consider the vastness of space, this
picture book will shrink you even more.
It’s hard to put into words how beautiful these pictures are. This
is the perfect book to keep in a living area for guests. Would also
be amazing in a classroom, possibly inspiring some future
astronauts or engineers.” –Amy’s Book-et List
“From the first image of two galaxies colliding, I knew this book
was going to be amazing…Overall, a remarkable book for any space
enthusiast.” –Stephanie’s Book Reviews
“Confession: I’ve become addicted to these National Geographic
books. The quality is outstanding as we’ve always expected from Nat
Geo, and I learn so much from reading them. Visual Galaxy is
exactly what you’d expect and more. It’s our beloved Milky Way in
pictures, looking at its past, present, and future…it also gives a
glimpse into our galaxy’s position within the vast universe.”
–Jennifer - Tar Heel Reader
“Five words: the perfect coffee table book! “ –Literary
Quicksand
“Swoon. This is another stunner from National Geographic. As one
would expect, the book is full of breathtaking photos that bring
you into space. It’s also a great reminder of just how tiny the
Earth is when you start to consider the whole of the galaxy…It’s
the perfect book to just get lost in. Ha – lost in space.” –Broken
Teepee
“I was so wrapped up in the facts and pictures that I lost track of
time and then I had finished it.” –A Dream Within a Dream
“@natgeo continues to publish amazing stories of our world,
and beyond! Visual Galaxy was released last month and is full of
incredible photos, illustrations, and explanations of the universe.
I’ve loved introducing @natgeo to my own kids - a whole
new generation of humans thirsty for knowledge and hungry to
explore our world.” –Instagram: @theunreadshelf
“That's the best part about National Geographic, we all know them
and we know that they are the pinnacle of great so if someone sees
these books- they are most certainly going to pick them up and get
sucked in…Not only did I love this book but my 14 and 11 year-old
did as well, and it was fun to have discussions about it.”
–Stranded in Chaos
“If the information itself wasn’t enough this book is FULL of
gorgeous photos and illustrations of things like supernovae, star
clusters, solar flares and planets.” –Ms. Nose in a Book
“The Foreword from Col. Chris Hadfield is a short love letter to
everyone inspired by the sky and what is just past what we can see;
I'm a Hadfield fan already but his brief introduction was genuine,
awe-filled, and inspiring. This book is perfect for my aspiring
astronaut as it has giant, gorgeous photos, artistic renderings,
diagrams, and other pictures detailing the huge and little
mysteries of space.” –Unabridged Chick
