Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. The author does a fine job of making available to readers what astronomers know about Saturn, supernovas and so on, while finding room for colorful tidbits: Uranus's slim rings, for example, 'reflect light about as poorly as charcoal', and circle that giant planet in just eight hours. Astronomy students use a cute mnemonic ('O Be a Fine Guy, Kiss Me') for the seven-letter codes that denote a star's brightness, from O (quite hot) to M (cool, for a star). Each planet (Earth included) gets its own photos and its own prose; other topics include the sun, the moon, 'The Birth of the Solar System', quasars, black holes and SETI (the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence). The photographs themselves, many of them color-enhanced, are stunning. With a 'Foreword' by David H. Levy. // This is a 1st edition hardback with its laminated boards in fine condition. (256 pages). This is a heavy book nearly 1.6kg, so there will be an extra postage charge. Seller Inventory # 7709
