The fifth edition of The Cosmos: Astronomy in the New Millennium
provides you with the fundamentals of astronomical knowledge that
have been built up over decades, with an expanded discussion of the
incredible advances that are now taking place in this fast-paced
field, such as New Horizons' flyby of Pluto, exoplanets, 'dark
matter', and the direct detection of gravitational waves by the
Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). Written
in a clear and easily understandable style, this textbook has been
thoroughly revised to include updated data and figures, new images
from recent space missions and telescopes, the latest discoveries
on supernovae, and new observations of the region around the
four-million-solar-mass black hole at the center of our Milky Way
Galaxy. A rich array of teaching and learning resources is
available at http://thecosmos5.com. The website is regularly
updated to include the latest discoveries and photographs in the
field.
