'Astronomy' is a comprehensive look at what we know about the universe and the ways in which amateurs can observe and learn more about the heavenly bodies. The accessible, informative text looks first at the planets in our Solar System, the stars, the Milky Way and other galaxies, before tackling observation aspects in the celestial spheres.
In clear language that demystifies the jargon normally associated with astronomy, a complicated subject is revealed here with clarity and conciseness. This is complemented by wealth of photographs, diagrams, star maps and spectacular 3-D illustrations, presenting a first-class addition to this fascinating and constantly changing subject.
