Cosmos - Great Rumbler - 4th January 2007
I was looking around at the local Walden's Books and I came across a book called by Giles Sparrow called "Cosmos". The book itself is massive, measuring 17" by 15" and over 200 pages long. It's packed to the brim with huge, full-color pictures of all the planets in the solar system [including moons] and a lot of Hubble shots of interstellar bodies.
It's an incredibly book and it only cost $20. Twenty dollars!! As far as I can tell it was released sometime this year, so it's very up-to-date.

Possibly inspired by Carl Sagan's old show, perhaps? Sounds like an interesting find.

That doesn't seem to be the case, but, yes, it is very awesome.

It'll be nice to find an "incredibly" book like that. Is it just photos or are they accompanied by information about the pictures? Helps to know what it is you are looking at, like scale and what bandwidth of the EMS it was photographed in.

Yeah, it has a lot of text in it as well, including explanations of what kind of photography was used.
