This comprehensive Encyclopedia covers the full history of
astronomy from its ancient origins in Africa, South America, the
Middle East and China to the latest developments in astrophysics
and space-based research. The initial articles, which are largely
organised chronologically, are followed by numerous thematic
historical articles on the constituents of the Solar System, types
of stars, stellar evolution, active galaxies, cosmology and much
more. These are followed by articles on tools and techniques, from
the history of spectroscopy to adaptive optics. The last part of
the Encyclopedia is devoted to the history of ground- and
space-based telescopes and observatories, covering the full
spectral range from gamma-rays through the optical waveband to
radio waves. Informative and accessibly written, each article is
followed by an extensive bibliography to facilitate further
research, whilst consistent coverage from ancient times to the
present makes this an ideal resource for scholars, students and
amateur astronomers alike.
