This latest entry in the 111 Places series from publisher Emons Verlag takes a break from the Earthbound and instead presents the most interesting attractions to be found beyond the confines of our home planet.

Unusually for this series, only one entry (the Moon) has actually felt the small steps of humanity, and so author Mark McCaughrean instead picks places of interest from across the Universe, based on information beamed back by observatories and, for some more local destinations, visiting spacecraft.
