The title of Pocket Books’ 1952 New Tales of Space and Time is very apt, for the tales within this volume are (were) entirely new to the book, none having previously appeared in pulp magazines.
The cover art’s pretty conventional: A spacecraft, a moon (“the” moon?), the darkness of space, a planetary system. Straightforward and spacey. But, I doubt that in the universe as we know it, you’d see a planetary system with orbits indicated by rings. If you did, I’d zoom away from there. Quick.
You can view the 1958 edition of this book, here.
(I like that cover more!)
