If you’re like us and have a NASA image of the day, or simply you like the magnificence of the universe, you’ll love journalist and filmmaker Michael Benson‘s Far Out: A Space-Time Chronicle — easily one of the best books of last year in both science and photography. In this fascinating anthology, Benson curates hundreds of remarkable images from observatories around the world and in space, telling the story of time and space in a way that intrigues, and inspires.
