What happens when a star dies? How many asteroids are in our solar
system? Can galaxies collide? What is dark energy? Astronomy in
Minutes answers all these questions and more as it condenses 200
key concepts into easily digestible essays. From Trojan asteroids
to stellar black holes, and from superclusters to cosmic microwave
background, this book will take you on an essential tour around the
universe. Beginning with the specks and constellations that we see
in the night sky, and then zooming in on the objects and 'matter'
beyond the naked eye, Astronomy in Minutes draws on established
theories and recent research. Each essay is accompanied by an image
or a clear diagram to help unravel complex ideas. Beginning with
the constellations and finishing with the latest cosmological
theories, this is the perfect reference guide to this fascinating
subject. Contents include: The celestial sphere, Piscis Austrinus,
the Earth-Moon system, Io and Ganymede, Kuiper Belt Objects,
Measuring stellar properties, Nuclear fusion, Red and orange
dwarfs, Open star clusters, Planetary nebulae, Supernova remnants,
Cosmic expansion, Quasars and blazars, Nature of spacetime,
Nucleosynthesis and the Anthropic Principle.
