Summary:

In Far Out: A Space-Time Chronicle, author and filmmaker Michael Benson assembles an outstanding collection of astronomical images from observatories around the world and in space. We live in a golden age of astronomical observation. Some of the resulting images are well known and have inspired millions of people; others, equally breathtaking, have never been published before. For this book, Benson has culled the very best, and organized them into a thrilling journey through space and time to the universe's great places, ranging from "nearby" nebulae in our own Milky Way galaxy to the light of the Hubble Deep Field that has traveled billions of light-years.
Every bit as innovative and beautiful as the author's successful Beyond: Visions of the Interplanetary Probes but far grander in conception, Far Out is an inspiring work of art and science on the cutting edge of human perception.

A Guide to the Cosmos, in Words and Images Dazzling and True ­–New York Times Book Review

[With Far Out] Take a good long look into space-time. –Los Angeles Times

Far out by Michael Benson proves that putting the photographable universe into a book doesn’t dampen its beauty. – Men’s Journal

An exquisite picture book of outer space. –San Diego Union Tribune

“2001: A Space Odyssey and Far Out: A Space-Time Chronicle: both are inspirational moving pictures. Far Out punches deep into space, like a series of jump cuts. It is a truly cinematic experience to see these magnificent images in rapid succession. Like the Star-Child in Stanley Kubrick’s vision of a Mankind evolving to a higher level, Far Out inspires me again to imagine a Universe filled with life, and each of those billions of pinpoints being orbited by worlds and beings of breathtaking beauty. Very moving pictures.”
—Douglas Trumbull, Oscar-winning Visual Effects Supervisor, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Star Trek, The Motion Picture

“The inventive, imaginative Michael Benson here unfolds the universe in its multiple dimensions.”
—Dava Sobel, author of Longitude, Galileo’s Daughter, and The Planets

“That the images in Michael Benson’s latest book, Far Out, are completely mind-blowing goes without saying. What’s especially dazzling about this volume, though, is the way Benson’s text takes the shards of those blown minds and completely reconfigures them into such a startlingly new and fresh awareness: a trembling awe all its own.”
—Lawrence Weschler, author of Everything That Rises and Seeing Is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees

“First he gave us the beauty of our solar system’s neighbor worlds in Beyond: Visions of the Interplanetary Probes, but Michael Benson hasn’t stopped there. In this spectacular new offering he gives us the universe itself, presented in such stunning and vivid detail that I am awed by every page. Open this book, take the journey, and be amazed.”
—Andrew Chaikin, author of A Man on the Moon and A Passion for Mars

The Ultimate (slightly nerdy) coffee table book
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

Stunning imagery...how amazing a universe we live in. This book sits in my office and not a day goes by where someone doesn't open it, comment, or just plain stare for a while (including me!). Highly recommended.

Fantastic - The Large Format was needed
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

A beautiful book, filled eye popping photos. The large format is very welcome, since the photos are so details. One can enjoy this book for many years. It is also great inspiration for visual astronomers, when the sky cloudy or spoiled with light pollution.

A gorgeous art book of outer space
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

The author quotes William Blake: "Eternity is in love with the productions of time."

Benson's excellent essays, the incredible photographs (many of which he has reprocessed to make them truer to reality), the wonderful printing and binding, all make this an art and science book that I am delighted to keep on our living room table.

A wonderful book.

Robert C. Ross 2009

One of the most beautiful astronomy books ever
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

This book is full of page after page of jaw-droppingly gorgeous images of our universe. What's better, they are accompanied by text and close-ups that clarify what we are seeing and put them in context. There is no better photographic tour of the skies; it's the kind of book you'll want to return to again and again.

Keeps me humble
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

When being outside under the starry sky isn't practical, browsing through this book is more than an adequate substitute for the real thing. I'd considered buying National Geographics' book about the accomplishments of the Hubble telescope, but after comparing it to this book, I was absolutely taken with the quality of the writing, the fabulous illustrations, and the especially the quality of the paper and printing.
