How can we measure the universe? Where is the "event horizon"? What is "dark matter"? Since the dawn of civilization, humans have observed celestial phenomena and attempted to explain them. Over the centuries, the science of astronomy has helped us expand the horizons of our knowledge and better understand the universe and our place in it.
Written in simple and understandable language, the book "Astronomy in Plain Words" is full of concise yet comprehensive explanations that bypass the incomprehensible terminology, diagrams that step-by-step explain complex theories, classic quotes that imprint astronomical discoveries in memory, and clever illustrations that enhance our perception of the world of stars.
Whatever your knowledge of astronomy may be - whether you are an enthusiastic student or a "armchair scientist" - in this book you will find plenty of stimuli. (From the presentation on the back cover of the book)
