Discover the Mysteries of the Universe

For stargazers of all ages and knowledge levels, The Everything "RM" Astronomy Book makes understanding the stars, the planets, the galaxies, and the solar system as simple as a peek through a telescope. Noted scientist Dr. Cynthia Phillips does away with complicated astro-jargon and, in plain English, explains a universe of fascinating topics, such as the differences between a meteor, meteorite, and meteoroid; how astronomy was practiced in many ancient cultures; and all about the sophisticated instruments used by today's professional astronomers. In addition, common myths are debunked -- find out why the Big Dipper is not an actual constellation, and that a shooting star isn't really a star at all. This exciting new book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in astronomy. Featuring: -- A handy guide to tools of the trade -- Fascinating photos and useful diagrams -- Tips and tricks, such as how to find north without a compass and distinguish between different celestial bodies -- The latest theories on UFOs -- The realities of an asteroid collision
