Astro4U: An Introduction to the Science of the Cosmos is designed
to excite students about the grandeur of astronomy and how the
universe functions. The book has a fresh, casual, student-friendly
tone that dramatically increases interest in the material while
also making it more accessible. The book provides a college-level
description of science, with astronomy serving as the vehicle of
delivery for displaying the scientific model. The content follows a
traditional progression, beginning with a study of the sky,
followed by discussions of ancient and medieval astronomy, modern
scientific practices, and key physical principles. Chapters move
through the solar system, stars, then galaxies and the cosmos as a
whole, and culminating with exoplanets and the search for life in
the universe. The third edition includes new content that reflects
the vast number of contemporary discoveries that have changed our
understanding of the cosmos. Expanded topics include the first
black hole image ever taken and what we've learned about black
holes as a result, the great dimming of Betelgeuse, interstellar
asteroids, and gravitational waves. Astro4U is written for general
education survey courses in astronomy that are geared toward
non-science and science majors alike.
