This book, first published in 1991, tells the story of how
astronomy and physics work together to unravel many mysteries of
stars and nebulae. Stress is laid on a non-technical description of
how an understanding of these objects is obtained, not on just a
mere review of facts. After a succinct, non-mathematical excursion
into the principles of radiation and atomic structure, the text
explains in simple terms the physical processes at work in stars
and gaseous nebulae. A survey of masses, dimensions, luminosities,
temperatures and chemical composition of stars is followed by an
exploration of their interiors and how stars generate energy. An
account of the exciting new field of high energy astronomy and the
origin of cosmic rays is given at the end of the book. This is the
ideal introduction for physics and astronomy students to the
important field of modern astronomics. It should also appeal to
amateur astronomers and the reader interested in the life history
of a star.
