The wonders of the universe never seemed so close. Who named the planets? Why isn't Pluto a planet? And what's the future of space? From ancient cave paintings to flying drones on Mars, humanity's relationship with the skies has changed dramatically. Gazing at the Night Sky looks back at over 5,000 years of history, from ancient Mesopotamian astronomers to the next horizons in space travel. Journey to ancient China, where astronomers recorded centuries of eclipses. Visit medieval Britain when a comet toppled thrones. And ride along on Apollo 11's lunar landing. Gazing at the Night Sky shows how far we've come in learning about our universe—and the next challenges on the horizon.
