The revised second edition of this established dictionary contains
over 4,300 up-to-date entries covering all aspects of astronomy.
Compiled with the help of over 20 expert contributors under the
editorship of renowned author and broadcaster Ian Ridpath, A
Dictionary of Astronomy covers everything from space exploration
and the equipment involved, to astrophysics, cosmology, and the
concept of time. The dictionary also includes biographical entries
on eminent astronomers, as well as worldwide coverage of
observatories and telescopes. Supplementary material is included in
the appendices, such as tables of Apollo lunar landing missions and
the constellations, a table of planetary data, and numerous other
tables and diagrams complement the entries. The entries have been
fully revised and updated for this edition, and new entries have
been added to reflect the recent developments within the field of
astronomy, including magnetic reconnection, Fornax cluster,
luminosity density, and Akatsuki. The content is enhanced by
entry-level web links, which are listed and regularly updated on a
companion website. A Dictionary of Astronomy is an invaluable
reference source for students, professionals, amateur astronomers,
and space enthusiasts.
