Astronomy within reachWritten for the layman in a relax style, the book shows how anyone, using only a pair of eyes or binoculars, can actively participate in astronomy. For instance, the book explains how to see Venus in daylight and how to watch the moons of Jupiter change positions during the course of an evening. Astronomy within reach is also ideailly suited to scholars and educator, being a resource not only for teaching astronomy, but also for learning about general scientific principles such as ellipses. Learn too why the names of the days of the week are all derived from astronomy. |
| Ook beskikbaar in Afrikaans as "Sterrekunde Binne Bereik" Cost: R150 excluding postage. |
