Inhaltsangabe

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® 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 CD ROM with more than 200 of the most spectacular images from NASA, star maps and other tools for backyard astronomers.
