This is a fascinating snapshot in time, approximately half a century before this item is being catalogued, that presents what was the state of knowledge, state of practice, state of the art, and state of education and training at the time. It is an important baseline for use in understanding how new information and discoveries were understood and interpreted at that point in time. Space science makes us look outwards from our planet, to the stars and beyond. It's a subject that strives to answer the ultimate questions: How did our Earth and our Solar System form and evolve? What is our place in the Universe? Where are we going? Where did life come from, and are we alone? By studying the other planets in our own Solar System, we can try to place Earth in context. ESA has already sent spacecraft to Earth's nearest planetary neighbors - Mars and Venus - to understand why they evolved so differently, and in the next decade we'll be unlocking the secrets of the innermost planet, Mercury, too. The gas giants, and in particular Jupiter with its four large moons - some of which may harbor underground oceans - is also key to piece together the Solar System evolution. Unraveling the behavior of our parent star, the Sun, is another crucial element to decipher our cosmic origins. And as more and more planets are found orbiting other stars, understanding our own cosmic neighborhood has never been so important. What about the origin of the Universe itself? If we could âsee' microwaves, the night sky would glow with the very first light ever released into space. This is the relic radiation of the Big Bang - the event that set the beginning to the Universe itself. With our space science missions we can tease out the details of the Universe's earliest moments, seek out the very first stars and galaxies, and learn about the fabric of space and time. These incredible space observatories can also give us clues as to the future destiny of our Milky Way galaxy, and the Universe itself.

A modern take on the Pygmalion myth, based on the 1943 Broadway hit musical, with music by Kurt Weill, lyrics by poet Ogden Nash, and a book co-written by Nash and S.J.
