fascinating story has evolved over the last 500 years albeit which
many scientifically literature readers will enjoy.'Contemporary
PhysicsThis book traces out the unfolding history of important
discoveries in astronomy and astrophysics, and anchors our present
understanding of the Universe within the findings and personalities
of accomplished astronomers. They have used telescopes and
instruments to extend our vision to places that cannot be seen with
the unaided eye, discovered a host of unanticipated objects, found
out how various parts of the night sky are related, and discovered
that the Universe is larger, more complex, and older than has been
previously thought. This comprehensive historical approach to the
present state of astronomy is a unique aspect of the book.
