Dieser Band erscheint mit Blick auf das Internationale Jahr der Astronomie (IYA) 2009 und wird wahrscheinlich das offizielle Buch zu diesem Anlass werden. Eine Vielzahl hervorragend reproduzierter, zum großen Teil ganzseitiger Photos trägt entscheidend zur Attraktivität bei. Das Buch enthält eine Zeittafel der Himmelsbeobachtungen mit Teleskopen und einen Überblick über die weltweit größten Anlagen. Im Lieferumfang enthalten ist die offizielle DVD zum IYA (54 min Laufzeit) mit Kommentaren von Experten, Animationen, Simulationen, Interviews und Filmbeiträgen aus Observatorien.

Lars Lindberg Christensen is press officer of the International Astronomical Union, as well as IAU EC International Year of Astronomy 2009 Working Group Secretary. An astronomer by profession, he is a science communication specialist heading the Hubble European Space Agency Information Centre group, responsible for public outreach and education for the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope in Europe.
Robert (Bob) Fosbury is an astronomer working for the European Space Agency (ESA) as part of ESA''s collaboration with NASA on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) project at ST-ECF. Bob also served on NASA''s Ad Hoc Science Working Group and ESA''s Study Science Team as they developed the instrument concepts for the James Webb Space Telescope, the next generation space observatory. Bob and Lars wrote the highly successful "Hubble - 15 years of discovery".
Robert Hurt is professional artist, specialized on art in astronomy.

1. New views of the skies
- Invention of the telescope by Zacharias Jansen and Hans Lipperhey
- First use of the telescope by Galileo Galilei
- First new discoveries: lunar craters, planetary satellites, sunspots, etc.
- Improvement of the telescope and further discoveries (Huygens, Hevelius, etc.)
- William Herschel's big, home-made telescopes, and his discoveries (Uranus, nebulae)
- Lord Rosse's Leviathan telescope and the discovery of spiral nebula
2. Bigger is better
- The Yerkes telescope as the largest refractor in the world
- The story of George Ellery Hale; constructing of the telescopes at Mount Wilson
- The discovery of the true nature of galaxies and the expansion of the Universe
- The life cycles of stars
- The 5-meter Hale telescope as the grand old lady of observational astronomy
- Reaching the limit: the "failure" of the Soviet 6-meter telescope
3. Computers to the rescue
- Telescope mounts and enclosures: alt-azimuth vs. equatorial
- Thin mirrors, rotating ovens and active optics
- Segmented mirrors; the twin Keck telescopes
- Building the Very Large Telescope
- Adaptive optics and interferometry
- New results from the current giants
4. From Silver to Silicon
- The early detectors: Eye and pencil
- The silver emulsion
- The silicon revolution: Photo multipliers, CCDs and CMOSes
- Digital image processing
5. Seeing the invisible
- Our limited ability to see the "real" Universe with our eyes
- Radio astronomy; big radio observatories like the Very Large Array
- The discovery of radio galaxies, pulsars, and the cosmic microwave background
- Unravelling the formation of galaxies, stars and planets: (sub-)millimetre astronomy (e.g. ALMA)
- What infrared observations tell us about dusty galaxies and the early evolution of the Universe
- High-energy astronomy: gamma ray, cosmic ray and neutrino telescopes
- Gravitational wave detectors and the search for the quivers of spacetime
6. Beyond Earth
- Astronomy's celebrity: the Hubble Space Telescope
- Overview of astronomical results from Hubble
- Mapping the heat radiation of the Universe: discoveries by orbiting infrared observatories
- UV-, X-ray and gamma-ray observatories reveal the exotic Universe
- High-energy results, including gamma-ray bursts
- Small, dedicated space telescopes
7. What's next?
- Future giants (Thirty Meter Telescope, E-ELT, etc)
- The Square Kilometer Array
- The James Webb Space Telescope
- Liquid-mirror telescopes
- A telescope on the moon?
- Space interferometers and the search for life in the Universe
