Description
Look to the stars.
Although Astronomy has been around for more than 5,500 years, astronomers say that we've learned more than 90% of what we know about the universe in just the last 50-and much of that in the last decade! The Complete Idiot's Guide(r) to Astronomy, Fourth Edition , continues to be the most comprehensive introduction to the topic, covering all the latest advances and discoveries, including:
The demotion of Pluto and promotion of Ceres as planetary objects
Breakthrough evidence of recent water flow on Mars
New developments in asteroid-tracking programs
New information on the nature and shape of our universe
Mind-bending theories concerning multiple universes
Information on the latest telescopes
As a bonus, this book includes a fascinating CDROM with more than 200 of the most spectacular images from NASA, star maps, and other tools for backyard astronomers.
