About the Book

This is a sequel to the ground-breaking "Challenge of the Stars", by Hardy & Moore, published in 1972. Dave Hardy is one of the world's most prominent "space artists" with many books to his credit and Patrick Moore is a household name to anyone with even the slightest interest in astronomy. "Futures" is a comprehensively-illustrated preview of our future in space and a review of past successes and failures. Hardy's llustrations show, for instance, how the surface of each planet and its moons was originally imagined by Patrick Moore and himself when they worked together all those years ago and reveals how our knowledge has been vastly improved by data from satellites, probes and telescopes. Hardy and Moore also apply their knowledge and imagination to look into the future for space exploration and to create artist's impressions of worlds not visible with current technology. Hardy's vivid artwork and Moore's erudite but accessible text will please Hardy fans, amateur astronomers and new readers alike.

Review :
I welcome David Hardy's new book with my old friend Patrick Moore Sir Arthur C Clarke In the pages of this wonderful book these two men take us out to the stars. And beyond Queen guitarist and astronomer, Dr Brian May "These pictures and texts are bang up to date with what we have learned about the solar system, the universe and space travel in recent years. They represent a collaborative wonder" New Scientist "this book is bound to sell well ... Just make sure you get your first edition first." sfcrowsnest.co.uk "Space art is high art...Our space artists extend our horizons and represent our future. What more could you ask of art?" The Guardian "an excellent package that would be hard to improve upon" thealienonline.net "a broad sweeping view over the whole of astronomy. The art and the text work superbly well together and produce a book that should appeal equally to people highly knowledgeable in the field of astronomy, as well as those whose knowledge is less." Eternal Night "one of the loveliest astronomy books to be published in recent years" Popular Astronomy "A nice addition to your bookshelf" Spaceflight magazine
