Inhaltsangabe

Practical Astronomy: Observations, Experiments, and Exercises has been in print for over twenty-five years. The progress in astronomy since that time, both regarding new observations and the development of new methods and techniques, is gigantic and almost beyond anybody's comprehension.

Practical Astronomy: Observations, Experiments, and Exercises:

• Is designed to meet the needs and expectations of introductory astronomy courses for non-science majors - no advanced math skills are required.
• Presents exercises for outdoor observations, regular laboratory experiments, and classroom and homework exercises.
• Includes units about extrasolar planets, stellar and supermassive black holes and Kuiper Belt Objects.
• Recognizes the new understanding of the Solar System, now considered to host eight planets instead of nine.
• Includes exercises available for software packages such as Starry Night and Stellarium.
