- The Fullness of Space is a comprehensive account of what astronomers have learned about interstellar matter--where it comes from, what is it made of, and how it collects together to form new stars and planets. It is beautifully illustrated with photographs and computer-generated images of nebulae, dust clouds and galaxies. The text is non-technical. No prior knowledge of astronomy or physics is needed to enjoy this introduction.
