Ever wondered what it would be like to have X-ray eyes? Well, wonder no
more. This magnificently illustrated book depicts the Universe as seen by ROSAT,
the German X-ray satellite. And spectacular it is, crowded with black holes and
exploding galaxies and blisteringly hot supernova remnants. Marvel at them all
in The Invisible Sky, the thinking person’s coffee-table book. Published by
Copernicus, £28.50/$40, ISBN 0387949283.
