"Had we known how wonderful the infrared is, we would have been born with infrared-sensitive eyes. Fortunately, NASA gave us just that with the Spitzer Space Telescope, and it is a joy to have Werner and Eisenhardt share with us what astronomers have discovered with it and how. From the black hole at the center of the Milky Way to the farthest galaxies and quasars, this insightful book describes how these infrared observations are revealing exciting celestial objects." --Jay M. Pasachoff, coauthor of The Cosmos: Astronomy in the New Millennium "The Spitzer Space Telescope opened up a new window on the cosmos, yielding new perspectives and crucial insights into the genesis of planets, stars, and galaxies. Werner and Eisenhardt, two leading scientists who each committed decades to the project, describe these discoveries while also giving due weight to the intense planning and prolonged campaigning that turned their vision into such a spectacular success." --Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal, author of On the Future: Prospects for Humanity "A magnificent tour of a wonderful history. Werner and Eisenhardt vividly describe what we saw with the Spitzer Space Telescope's small but mighty infrared eye, from distant galaxies shrouded in dust to glowing clouds making new stars and planets.

Spitzer and its human masters will amaze you." --John C. Mather, Nobel Prize-winning astrophysicist "Werner is fond of using the Shakespeare quote 'Though she be but little, she is fierce' to describe the Spitzer mission, and this book aptly demonstrates that a telescope less than a yard in diameter can achieve results that are fierce in revolutionizing our view of the universe." --Marcia Rieke, University of Arizona "This is a lucid, vivid, and accessible synthesis of the cosmic discoveries made by the Spitzer telescope. Crafted with verve by two pioneering explorers of the infrared universe, it captures the excitement and enthusiasm of the thousands of scientists who contributed to this outstanding mission." --Simon Mitton, coauthor of Heart of Darkness: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Invisible Universe "This exceptional book blends good storytelling and readable prose to describe our modern view of the cosmos from the unique vantage point of the Spitzer Space Telescope. Werner and Eisenhardt have devoted three decades of their lives to Spitzer and are highly qualified to provide this account of one of NASA's most successful missions." --Ian McLean, University of California, Los Angeles " More Things in the Heavens is engagingly written for general audiences, but also features a lot of substantial science--enough that I learned quite a bit, on diverse topics ranging from exoplanets to high-redshift galaxies.

A pleasurable read." --Bruce T. Draine, Princeton University.
