Encyclopaedia Britannica presents space

What lies out there in the distance? How did it all begin? These questions have puzzled human beings throughout history and brought about the development of astronomy, one of the most ancient sciences. In recent decades, advances in space research have enabled scientists to investigate these complex questions and answer some simpler ones, such as where falling stars come from, what causes a solar eclipse, and whether or not there is life on Mars. As you explore this fascinating PC CD-ROM, you will learn about the origin of the universe, the development of galaxies, the birth and death of stars, plus much more.
