From the back of the book:
When men had no telescopes, they believed that the universe was a fairly small and simple place, and that they were the most important part of it. Today we know that the universe is very large and very diverse....
I have singled out pioneers who helped us to explore farther and farther into the universe. Each step they took depended on one taken by some- one else before. And at each step they found that there was more and more to explore. Today we know that astronomy, the oldest of the sciences, is only just beginning.
