Critics Review
“Longlisted for the AAAS/Subaru SB&F Prize for Excellence in Science Books, Hands-On category”
“Welcome to the Universe in 3D, the ideal gift for star gazers of all ages, brings readers a built-in stereo viewer…that enables a 3D tour of the universe. Armchair astronomers can peer through the stereo viewer, page through nearly 60 double images of the solar system and take in three-dimensional images from as far away as 13.8 billion light years …. Cheaper than a telescope, this is a marvelous introduction to astronomy” * Shelf Awareness *
