In-Universe Lore: It features entries on alien races, planets, technologies, starships, and historical galactic terms from the original 1978–1979 television series. Vibrant Visuals: The book is presented in an oversized format filled with vibrant, full-color production photography and stills directly from the show. Pop Culture Trivia: Interestingly, the title Encyclopedia Galactica is a nod to Isaac Asimov's Foundation series. Following this book's release, astronomer Carl Sagan famously used the same term in his 1980 Cosmos documentary to describe a hypothetical database of alien knowledge.
