This book is all about stars and galaxies. After describing the history of astronomy, the writer first explains electromagnetic radiation and matter. Than there is a chapter about distances and how we can measure them. Stars are described in two chapters: ‘from the outside’ (colours, brightness, size, etc.); and ‘their interior’ (how they work). Chapter 7 is about the Milky Way, chapter 8 about all other galaxies (‘The Universe’). The last chapter is about how it all began, 13.7 billion years ago.
This third part of the series takes as away from our Solar System, to go deeper into space, and into the matter!
Third part of series of three, about astronomy (Enjoying Astronomy), for the general public. They are also useful as books for astronomy courses, and written for 12-14 years and up.
