About this book

Although astronomy has been studied for more than 5,500 years, astronomers say that we've learned more than 90 percent of what we know about the universe in just the last fifty. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the topic, covering all the latest advances and discoveries, including the demotion of Pluto and promotion of Ceres as planetary objects, breakthrough evidence of recent water flow on Mars, new developments in asteroid-tracking programs and new information on the nature and shape of our universe.

As a bonus, this book includes a CD-ROM with more than 200 of the most spectacular images from NASA, star maps and other tools for the amateur astronomer.
