Astronomy For Beginners will explain the elaborate
celestial dance – the patterns of the heavens, the
equinoxes and the solstices, the major meteor
showers, and the solar and lunar eclipses. In
addition, Astronomy For Beginners will also
take you on a guided tour of the solar system
and beyond. We’ll discover how the way we
measure time itself is intimately related to celestial
phenomena, and we’ll furthermore explore our
historical and continuing mission to understand our
place in this marvelous universe in which we find
ourselves.
