For two-semester courses in astronomy. Exploring the impact of new
discoveries on astronomy, science, and life in the universe
Building on a long tradition of effective pedagogy and
comprehensive coverage, The Cosmic Perspective, 9th Edition
provides a thoroughly engaging and up-to-date introduction to
astronomy for anyone who is curious about the universe, regardless
of prior background in astronomy or physics. As respected teachers
and active researchers, the authors present astronomy using a
coherent narrative and a thematic approach that engages students
immediately and guides them through connecting ideas. This
engagement-centered approach and variety of contextualizing
features enhance student understanding of the process of science
and actively involve them in learning key concepts. The 9th Edition
features major scientific updates, new content that focuses on the
possibility of life in the universe, and recent discoveries that
provide modern contexts to help students see astronomy as highly
relevant to their worlds now. The authors integrate a new focus on
cultural diversity among scientists and ethics across science and
astronomy, delving into science done by a wide range of people and
evaluated in different ways. The authors write and create a wealth
of Mastering Astronomy resources, carrying the coherent and
cohesive approach of the book to the new and expanded digital
tools, such as Prelecture Videos. Instructors can access this
curated group of activities in Mastering Astronomy for use before,
during, and after class and can easily edit the pre-built
assignments to fit the way they teach. This text is also available
in two volumes, which can be purchased separately: The Cosmic
Perspective: The Solar System, 9th Edition (includes Chapters 1-13,
14, S1, 24) The Cosmic Perspective: Stars, Galaxies, and Cosmology,
9th Edition (includes Chapters 1-3, S1, 4-6, S2-S4, 14-24) Also
available digitally as a standalone Pearson eText, or via Mastering

one place, even when offline. Seamlessly integrated videos and
other rich media engage students and give them access to the help
