About this book
Studying the ways in which the material of our universe is arranged and the processes which shape it over time provide the basis for the oldest science in the world: astronomy. This book uses Stecker’s artful astrophotography and electronic imaging to illustrate structures in the cosmos and to illuminate Abrams’s explanations surrounding them. The accompanying online material offers a veritable explosion of hundreds of beautiful color images that illustrate local and distant structures and galaxies.
