Description
Although the lifetimes of stars and galaxies are played out over hundreds and thousands of millennia, the field of Astronomy itself is fast paced, with hardly a week going by without a new discovery or development hitting the headlines.
ASTRONOMY - Recent Discoveries & Developments delves into the most significant, ground breaking, headline making stories that have come out of Astronomy throughout 2011-12 and presents them in an easy to read, easy to understand format. Each section is accompanied by full colour images and illustrations which beautifully reinforces the subject.
Discover Stars that are rotating at a dizzying 1 million miles per hour, others that are only as hot as a cup of tea, another that should not exist and one that literally changed our Universe. Discover why Galaxies are the ultimate recyclers and how mysterious dark matter is not behaving as predicted. Discover all this and more in this exciting round up from the world of Astronomy.
The book, intended to be accessible to a wide audience, needs no previous knowledge of Astronomy to be fully enjoyed and forms a perfect catch-up or introduction for anyone with an interest in this fascinating field of science.
