Summary

A complete visual guide to the universe.

Take a look through the lens and discover the beauty and science of the magnificent world that is our night sky - and beyond.

From the 150km (93 mile) wide impact craters on the moon to Jupiter's Great Red Spot, a swirling storm that started in the 1600s, learn all about the history of astronomy. Find out about astronomical phenomena and take a tour of the solar system. This easy-to-follow audiobook also explains the science behind the wonders of the sky. 

Featuring no-nonsense advice on how to observe the skies using the naked eye, binoculars and telescopes, Astronomy is the perfect guide for keen amateur astronomers, as well as a great reference book for the whole family.

Ian Ridpath is an award-winning writer, broadcaster and lecturer on astronomy, having previously worked at the University of London Observatory. A fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, he is the editor of the Oxford Dictionary of Astronomy and Norton's Star Atlas, which is considered by many to be the amateur astronomer's bible. He has written or edited more than 40 books, including several standard guides to the night sky, and many articles on astronomy.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
