This book will take the story of astronomy on from where Allan
Chapman left it in Stargazers, and bring it almost up to date, with
the developments and discoveries of the last three centuries. He
covers the big names - Halley, Hooke, Herschel, Hubble and Hoyle;
and includes the women who pushed astronomy forward, from Caroline
Herschel to the Victorian women astronomers. He includes the big
discoveries and the huge ideas, from the Milky War, to the Big
Bang, the mighty atom, and the question of life on other planets.
And he brings in the contributions made in the US, culminating in
their race with the USSR to get a man on the moon, before turning
to the explosion of interest in astronomy that was pioneered by Sir
Patrick Moore and The Sky at Night.
