This is very clever of Lonely Planet. A "Travel" book about the Universe. Excellent! With colorful pages chock full of wonderful photographs and explanations. The hard cover book is thick and sturdy, should last. The photography is gorgeous, some of the best of NASA and other space agencies and universities. The descriptions are well done without being overly technical so it's not over whelming with math, which is the main way to study the Universe. Starting off with our solar system. The planets, Earth included, of course, and excellent descriptions of solar flares and how to spot them. This is for everyone who loves the skies above and love astronomy and geographical descriptions. And forward by Bill Nye, the Science Guy!
