Trade Review
"A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year"
"Marvellous. . . . Ellis's explanations of complex scientific and technological challenges faced along the journey are an exemplar of how to bring approachability and clarity to potentially tricky subjects, but it is the fascinating incidental details that really grab the attention. Offering a rare insight into how professional astronomy actually 'gets done', they elevate this to must-read status for anyone interested in the ways of modern science."---BBC Sky at Night Magazine, Giles Sparrow
"[If] astronomy is your thing . . . this is genuinely an essential read and highly recommended."---Brian Clegg, Popular Science
"A wonderful book."---Phillip Helbig, The Observatory
