Sir Brian May says -
"I’m excited about this latest addition to the London Stereoscopic Company’s Astro collection. For the very first time, readers will be able to enjoy stereoscopic renderings of galaxies previously only seen as flat ‘mono’ images. And this, coupled with a text from one of the world’s experts on Galactic Evolution, will give a uniquely new insight into the Universe as it is now perceived. Moreover, it’s an account understandable and enjoyable by anyone interested in the biggest subject in the Universe - not just astro experts. It will be a gripping read !! "
Galaxies 3-D: Islands in Infinity
By Professor Derek Ward-Thompson and Sir Brian May
3-D pictures are the creation of J-P Metsävainio,
to be published by The London Stereoscopic Company, Autumn 2025
With more than 200 colour photographs from the world’s great telescopes, both terrestrial and spaceborne, the stunning coffee table book, will provide a mesmerising introduction to the formation, nature, evolution and classification of some of the 200 billion galaxies that inhabit the observable Universe.
We’re taken on a journey, travelling through weird and wonderful shapes as great galaxies collide and merge in chaotic and extraordinarily forms. And, moving out towards the edge of the visible Universe, we examine how galaxies gather in clusters and superclusters as we look outwards and back in time towards the beginning of the Universe at the Big Bang.
Each copy comes complete with an Owl Stereoscopic Viewer, designed by Brian May which will bring the images to life in fantastic 3-D.
