Stars, Galaxies, and Cosmology: The Cosmic Perspective, Second Edition with Voyager: SkyGazer CD-ROM - Tapa blanda

Have there been developments in astronomy that have led you to teach some topics differently from how you learned them as a student? Then consider The Cosmic Perspective , Second Edition. Astronomical breakthroughs of the last two decades have led to a revolution in the way we understand the universe and to what we can teach our students.
