From Library Journal

An interesting anthology, nicely organized, this book is divided into ten sections. Each section includes a short scientific essay on a particular astronomical phenomenon, a science fiction short story loosely based on the same subject, and a piece of artwork done by one of the better known science fiction illustrators. Offerings include writings by many familiar writers on scientific themes, including Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Frederik Pohl, Eric Chaisson, Rudy Rucker, and Allan Sandage. For the scientifically oriented reader, a most enjoyable and relaxing collection. Harold D. Shane, Baruch Coll., CUNY
