Astronomy The Solar System and Beyond 6th Ed

We are excited that you are taking an astronomy course and using our book. You are going to see some amazing things, from the icy rings of Saturn to monster black holes. We are proud to be your guides as you explore. We have developed this book to help you expand your knowledge of astronomy, from recognizing the moon and a few stars in the evening sky, to a deeper understanding of the extent, power, and diversity of the universe. You will meet worlds where it rains methane, stars so dense their atoms are crushed, colliding galaxies that are ripping each other apart, and a universe that is expanding faster and faster.
