It is an accessible introductory book written for the interested layperson – anyone interested in the ‘big picture’ coming from modern science.

He has authored or co-authored over 250 scientific papers, and edited six books on astronomy and astrophysics.

A member of various international organizations and committees, he served as President of the International Astronomical Union’s Division on Galaxies and the Universe.
