Sinopsis
Explore the fascinating facts and visual wonder of stars in this easy-to-read and beautifully illustrated guide from astrophysicist and popular science blogger Dr. Jillian Scudder.
Stars, the building blocks of the universe, are simply luminous spheres of plasma held together by gravity, but there are many kinds and many remarkable examples. Astoundingly, there are at least 100 billion stars in our galaxy and an estimated two trillion galaxies in our visible universe. Understanding the birth, life, and death of stars is key to a knowledge of astronomy.
40 Ways to Know a Star offers forty short essays that explore everything from the Milky Way to planetary nebulae, from how a star is born to the colors of stars, each enhanced by a color illustration or graphic image. Dr. Scudder, whose popular Astroquizzical blog features an engaging "ask an astronomer" format, writes in a way that makes complex physics accessible. Magnificent imagery of the heavens, including ten color plates featuring NASA photographs, makes this space book as enticing as it is informative.
ASTROPHYSICS EXPERT: Dr. Jillian Scudder is an astrophysicist and Associate Professor of Physics at Oberlin College, Ohio. She hosts and writes Astroquizzical, a blog in which she tackles some of the mysteries of the universe by answering space-related questions from the public.
ACCESSIBLE CONTENT: This unique science book helps any reader understand our universe; it is full of charts and distinctive color illustrations that give clear and accessible explanations of the content and a resource page for further exploration.
ASTRONOMY GIFT: Beautifully designed inside and out, the book’s cover features gold foil to highlight the stellar content, making it an excellent coffee table book or gift for astronomy enthusiasts of all levels.
Perfect for:
- Astronomy and space enthusiasts
- Teachers, librarians, and students seeking an instructive and accessible resource
- Gift-giving for graduation, birthday, retirement, Mother's Day, Father's Day, or any occasion for people interested in science and technology
