**Camille Flammarion. [1842-1925] Celestial Bodies 1897** From the author's preface: Fifty thousand copies of this small book have sown the seeds of knowledge far and wide, lifting the veil just enough for curious minds to glimpse the majestic spectacle of nature that remains hidden from so many. Indeed, by reading this accessible work, one can begin to see, appreciate, and understand the grand design of the universe, of which Earth is but a tiny speck. How many people live and die without ever suspecting this truth! In publishing this book, our aim was not only to provide readers with valuable information but, more importantly, to foster a love for science and to reveal the joy that comes from knowledge. We invite our young readers to approach the edges of the landscapes unveiled by science, and they will soon discover that the purest pleasures in life lie in the contemplation of nature; their eager enthusiasm will quickly ignite a passionate quest for the great truths of the cosmos.
