The Museum of Cosmonautics is pleased to present readers a new book about space! This is a story about our steps on the path of understanding the Universe - from boiling and seething matter to intelligent beings, from the most primitive, fabulous and mythical ideas about the structure of the cosmos to today's amazing theories and hypotheses - from Black holes, tunnels through time and space, to microscopic particles that contain their own worlds with their own physical laws. And most importantly, this book is about what will happen next to humanity and the Universe, because it seems that we are at the very beginning of the journey and there are still many interesting things ahead - things that will actually come true!
