Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I can’t say enough about how awesome Govert Schilling is as a writer, and this book is no exception. It’s well written, it’s informative, it’s beautiful to look at, and it’s easy to read. While it’s not filled to the brim with information (like Marcia Bartusiak’s 100 Astronomical Discoveries book) it is very easy to understand, while not overly simplifying things to the point that everyone past the age of ten feels like they’re reading a kid’s book (like the Eyewitness books). It’s great for all ages that are interested in astronomy. I just wish Schilling would publish more things in English. So far, I’ve liked everything he’s produced that I can read.

⭐Love this and recommend for anyone with this interest. Gave it to my nephew as a bday present and he is a little genius 9 yr old who loves it too

⭐Large format hardcover with a great overview of astronomical discoveriesOnly three stars?Although the book is an excellent read, it doesn’t mention Angelo Secchi, a solar spectroscopy pioneer and probably the first scientist to state authoritatively that the Sun is a star.Contrary to other well-illustrated books by Govert Schilling (e.g. The Hunt for Planet X: New Worlds and the Fate of Pluto search for Planet X … a book which has photographs of each researcher & astronomer involved) we’re disappointed with the chosen photos. Of all the observatories and scientists mentioned, there’s only 1 photo of Karl Jansky.If the book was aimed at the young multimedia generation, a better choice of rare photographs would have been wiser, as most have seen the chosen prints online…
