Each year as Earth cruises through space a number of amazing and
remarkable events occur. For example, like clockwork, we'll run
head-on into asteroid and cometary debris that spreads shooting
stars across our skies. On occasion we'll get to watch the disk of
the Moon passing the Sun, casting its shadow upon the face of the
Earth, and sometimes we'll get to watch our own shadow as it glides
across the face of the Moon. The Sun's path will constantly change
across the daytime sky, as will the stars and constellations at
night. During this time, we'll also get to watch the other majestic
planets in our solar system wander the skies, as they, too, circle
the Sun in this elaborate celestial dance.
Astronomy explains the patterns of the heavens, the equinoxes and
the solstices, the major meteor showers, and the solar and lunar
eclipses. It's a guided tour of the solar system and beyond and
explains how the way we measure time itself is intimately related
to celestial phenomena. Astronomy not only helps readers become
experts in space and time, it's also a fun ride!
