Space Atlas: Mapping the Universe and Beyond is a 2012 book by American physicist James Trefil. It is Trefil's 17th book.

The book contains three parts: "The Solar System", "The Galaxy", and "The Universe"

The Space Atlas includes star charts, photography, and other information. Trefil, the Robinson Professor of Physics at George Mason University also highlights scientists whose discoveries helped inform this book and human knowledge of the universe, such as Nicolaus Copernicus, who produced the first serious model of the solar system in which the sun was at the center and Earth moved in orbit, and Jocelyn Bell Burnell, who discovered the signals of pulsars.^[1]
