Product Description
Product Description

Astronomy is an ancient science on the cutting edge. Although it's been around for over 5,500 years, astronomers say that we have learned more than 90 percent of what we know in only the last 50 years--a disproportionate amount in just the past decade. Each new year seems to yield more information than the last, not to mention advances in the technology for acquiring it.

--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Synopsis

Includes advice on purchasing astronomical equipment. Part of the COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE Series.
