Explore the wonders of the cosmos with this vintage Larousse Encyclopedia of Astronomy. This comprehensive hardcover reference book, originally published in 1959 and revised in 1966, offers an in-depth look into the science of astronomy, from stars and planets to galaxies and astronomical instruments.

Featuring contributions from renowned astronomers Lucien Rudaux and G. de Vaucouleurs, with an introduction by Professor F. L. Whipple, this encyclopaedia is a valuable resource for students, enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the universe. It includes numerous illustrations and colour plates that enhance the learning experience.

Despite its age, the internal pages are generally well-preserved. The dust jacket is heavily worn and torn, as visible in the images, but the underlying hardcover binding remains intact. A fascinating historical artefact and an excellent addition to any collection of science or astronomy literature.
